semifinal
Saturday.
Montreal (6-3) advances to play the Laval Rouge et Or in the 2009 Dunsmore Cup final next Saturday in Quebec City.
Laval advanced by downing the Concordia Stingers 63-1 in the other Quebec University Football League semifinal.
The Gaiters took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Carabins rattled off 37 unanswered points to book their place in the Dunsmore Cup final.
The Gaiters got off to fast start, as freshman quarterback Jordan Heather - starting in place of veteran pivot Jesse Andrews, who was out with a shoulder injury - led the visitors on a five-play, 58-yard drive, capped by a 15-yard pass to fellow rookie Dave Soucy to put Bishop's up 7-0.
Four minutes later, a bad snap on a Montreal punt attempt gave Bishop's the ball on the Montreal two-yard line, and Tim Cronk plunged over two plays later to put the Bishop's up 14-0.
After a Pierre-Paul Gelinas field goal, Josh Maveety gave the Gaiters a 15-3 lead after the first quarter on a 46-yard single.
The second quarter saw touchdowns by Youssy Pierre and Sene, along with another Gelinas field goal and a safety touch, gave the Carabins a 22-15 lead at halftime.
Elsewhere in CIS playoff football action, it was: Laval 63 Concordia 1; Queen's 32 McMaster 6; StFX 33 Acadia 30; Saskatchewan 53 Regina 23; Calgary 45 Alberta 13; and Western 26 Wilfrid Laurier 16.
At Montreal, the Carabins took advantage of the wind and better field position to stretch their lead in the third quarter on a pair of safety touches, a field goal and a single point.
Meanwhile, Sene put the game away with a 24-yard touchdown at 5:53, while the final Gelinas field goal, with 1:24 left, rounded out the scoring.
The Carabins outgained the Gaiters 639 to 191, and recorded 31 first downs, to the Gaiters' 11. The Gaiters committed three turnovers, while forcing five by the Carabins, marking a rare loss when winning the turnover battle.
