Allen is currently a member of the Rochester Knighthawks of the National Lacrosse League, and is in his fourth season in the NLL. He was drafted by the Toronto Nationals of Major League Lacrosse in the fourth round (24th overall) in the 2010 Supplemental Draft.

LENNOXVILLE – Third-year defender Mark Kingston (Oakville, Ont.) has been named an East Division All-Star by the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association. The league made its annual awards announcement last week.

Kingston finished the season with five assists and five penalty minutes in ten games. "Mark was strong and quick at transitioning the ball up the field. He was our leader in loose balls many times, and was key in directing our defence," said Damien Roy, the Gaiters' Head Coach.

Mark was the only member of the Gaiters to be named an All-Star in hte annual league awards. The Gaiters finished the season with an overall record of 10-6 (6-4 CUFLA East) and were eliminated in the CUFLA Quarterfinals.

Wins by Men's Rugby and Basketball highlight busy Gaiters' Friday night

October 30, 2009

LENNOXVILLE - The Bishop's Gaiters were in action on four fronts on a busy Friday night in Lennoxville, with Men's Rugby and Men's Basketball picking up home wins, while Men's Lacrosse and Women's Soccer went down to defeat. Men's Rugby advanced to their third straight QURU Championship game with a 15-12 win over the Concordia Stingers at Coulter Field. Meanwhile, inside the Mitchell Gym, Men's Basketball fought off a late comeback attempt to defeat the UPEI Panthers 82-80. Earlier in the evening, Women's Soccer fell 4-1 to McGill in their final home game of the season. The only road action for the Gaiters involved the Lacrosse team, who dropped a 6-5 decision to McGill in their CUFLA Quarter-final game.

LACROSSE: The Gaiters' lacrosse season came to a premature end tonight in Montreal, as third-seeded Bishop's suffered a heartbreaking 6-5 loss to the No. 2-seed McGill Redmen. The teams were tied with two goals apiece after the first quarter, but McGill took a 4-2 lead into halftime. The third quarter proved to be decisive, as McGill outscored Bishop's 3-1, including the eventual game-winner by Nick Moreau with 1:49 left in the period.

In the fourth quarter, the Gaiters pulled back to within one, and attackman Mike Dubé (Brockville, Ont.) looked to be open in the dying seconds with the potential game-tying goal. However, it was not to be, as he was robbed by McGill's Guy Fox, sending Bishop's out in the quarter-final round for the second straight year.

Dubé finished the night with two goals, as did Jesse Gattelllaro, with a Joe LaLeune single rounding out the scoring. Greg Henry led McGill with three goals.
