“It is amazing to win for a second year in a row, even getting to the game for a third year in a row is hard, but we were able to get it done,” said Brock head coach and OUA Coach of the Year Steve Delaney. “Queen’s came out flying, but I think the home crowd helped us and we were able to keep believing. It made the difference.”<\/p>\n
