Queen's take unbeaten road record into Yates Cup final game at Laurier

The Gaels lost to the Golden Hawks in their regular season meeting earlier this season.

The Queen's Gaels football team are hoping to continue their winning streak on the road.

The Gaels are 5 and 0 away from Richardson Stadium this season including a 36-25 victory over the Lancers in Windsor last Saturday in the Yates Cup semifinals.

They head back on the road this Saturday against the Laurier Golden Hawks in Waterloo for the OUA championship.

Receiver Cedric Smith for one isn't fazed by the idea of having to play in front of what should be an electrifying environment.

  

Head coach Steve Snyder says their success on the road this season has been to keep it all business.

This will be the second time that the two teams will face each other this season. The Golden Hawks came into Richardson in Week 3 and dominated in a 47-32 win on Sept. 5.

Smith remembers that game and is looking forward to the rematch.

Snyder says his team didn't have a great start to that game and believes they need to get off to one if they intend on winning the Yates Cup and advancing to the final four in USPORTS.

Game time at Alumni Field in Waterloo on Saturday is 1 pm.
