“I think that this move will do nothing but put us in a better position to win on all sides of the ball.”
“It’s obviously disappointing not making playoffs, but you still wake up every Saturday looking forward to playing.”
“We don’t come here to have moral victories; we come here to win on the scoreboard. That’s disappointing, but I like the overall belief in ourselves”
The women’s rugby team suffered an unfortunate 29-14 loss to the Université Laval Rouge et Or this past Sunday, Sept. 16, breaking their two game winning streak.

Last weekend’s highly successful doubleheader against the Ryerson University Rams and the University of Toronto Varsity Blues brought the Gee-Gee’s to the number one spot in Ontario University Athletics (OUA), but the Gee’s had a tough time maintaining their reign after taking on the Nipissing University Lakers and the Laurentian University Voyageurs.
