MONTREAL \u2014\u00a0Liam Miletich<\/a> and Zack Page<\/a> each scored three goals as the McGill Redbirds broke open a tie game with four unanswered markers in the fourth quarter to defeat the Queen’s Gaels 9-5 in Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association action at Percival Molson Stadium, Saturday.<\/p>\n The victory kept McGill undefeated at 3-0 under new head coach Andrew Meakes<\/a> following season-opening wins over Trent and Carleton.<\/p>\n McGill led 1-0 on Miletich’s opening-quarter goal before Cam Milligan replied for Queen’s to send the teams into the second stanza tied at 1-1.<\/p>\n The Redbirds took control in the second quarter, when Miletich scored twice to complete his hat-trick and Page added another. Milligan’s second of the afternoon accounted for the lone Queen’s response as McGill carried a 4-2 advantage into halftime.<\/p>\n Callum Olson<\/a> extended the lead to 5-2 in the third quarter before Tanner Harrison answered for the Gaels, setting the stage for a fourth-quarter rally by the visitors.<\/p>\n Harrison struck again early in the final stanza and Ryan Gonsalvez followed to pull Queen’s even at 5-5 with just under 10 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n McGill responded with four straight goals. Torsten Blodgett<\/a> netted what proved to be the game-winner at 8:03, before Page scored twice to complete his hat-trick. Jack Faller rounded out the scoring with three seconds remaining.<\/p>\n Page finished with a game-high five points on three goals and two assists, while Miletich had three goals. Blodgett contributed a goal and an assist, with Olson and Faller supplying the other McGill markers.<\/p>\n Milligan and Harrison scored twice apiece for Queen’s, while Gonsalvez had the other Gaels goal.<\/p>\n McGill held a 29-15 advantage in shots, including a 17-6 margin over the middle two quarters.<\/p>\n Brennan Visokey<\/a> played all 60 minutes in the McGill net and was credited with the victory after allowing five goals. Queen’s netminder also went the distance and surrendered nine.<\/p>\n The Redbirds were assessed nine penalties totalling 11.5 minutes, while Queen’s drew four infractions for six minutes.<\/p>\n McGill improved to 3-0 and has outscored its opponents 40-23 over its first three games.<\/p>\n REDBIRDS RAP: Miletich’s three goals were his first three of the season… Page’s hat-trick gave him nine goals through three games… Page has recorded a hat-trick in consecutive outings after scoring four times in last Sunday’s 17-6 victory at Carleton… McGill has produced seven individual hat-tricks over its first three games… The Redbirds have scored 40 goals, an average of 13.3 per game… Visokey earned his third consecutive victory.<\/p>\n (COACH’S COMMENTS TO FOLLOW) SCORING SUMMARY<\/p>\n McGILL 9, QUEEN’S 5 Times converted from the countdown clock to elapsed time.<\/p>\n FIRST QUARTER<\/p>\n McGill \u2014 Liam Miletich<\/a> 1 (unassisted) 2:16.
