The Queen’s Gaels couldn’t find a rhythm as they fell to the No. 3 McMaster Marauders by a 26-2 score in a windy home opener. The loss marks the first home opening loss by the Gaels since 2005.
Tyler Crapigna of Nepean, Ont., scored 14 points, converting four field goals and two extra points which paced the Marauders to the 26-2 lead in the fourth quarter.
Ben D’Aguilar of Hamilton, Ont. opened the scoring for the Marauders with a 57 yard interception return nine minutes into the first quarter when he broke up a Gaels’ screen pass and took it the length of the field. Crapigna hit his first field goal of the game, a 16 yard effort, three minutes after D’Aguilar’s touchdown to give the Marauders a 10 point lead heading into the second quarter.
Crapigna added two more field goals during the second quarter from 29 and 35 yards away to increase the McMaster lead to 16 points.
The Marauders converted a late touchdown strike as Kyle Quinlan of South Woodlee, Ont. connected with Jared Jones of Scarborough for a 60-yard touchdown with 8 seconds remaining in the half. Quinlan finished the game throwing for 349 yards on 20-31 passing for one touchdown.
Crapigna hit a 20 yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to round out the scoring for the Marauders.
The Gaels registered their two points after a stingy defensive effort forced the Marauders to concede a safety with 6:02 remaining in the third quarter. The Gaels also blocked a field goal in the 4th quarter on a great special teams effort.
Gaels quarterback Billy McPhee of Burlington, Ont. threw for 132 yards on 13-32 passing and two interceptions while Justin Chapdelaine of Abbotsford, B.C. led all Gaels receivers with 64 yards on five catches. Fellow Abbotsford, B.C. native Dan Village was the Gaels’ top special teams player averaging 41 yards per punt, while pinning McMaster inside their 20 yard line twice.
The Gaels take to the road this Saturday, September 10th to take on the Ottawa Gee-Gees (1-0) before returning home on September 17th as they host the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks (1-0).
