After the bronze match, the gold medal game is set for 3 p.m. between the two Quebec-based teams, Elans de Garneau and the Aigles d’Ahuntsic.

Red Deer, who was the host team for the championship, lost in the quarter-finals on the first day of the tournament on Wednesday against the Vancouver Island University Mariners.

However, they bounced back on Thursday with a 5-0 victory over the Brandon Bobcats in the bronze quarter-finals to advance to Friday’s match.

The Queens finished the 2025 campaign in second place in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) south division standings with a 10-4-1 record.

And in the ACAC Women’s Soccer Championship, the Queens won the bronze medal after defeating the SAIT Trojans 2-1 in Lethbridge on Oct. 26.
