The Gee-Gees men’s hockey team beat the Concordia Stingers 7-2 on Saturday night to sweep their best of three series. With the win, the Gees qualified for the USports national championships in Halifax later this month and will have a shot at the Queen’s Cup later this week.
The Gee-Gees men’s hockey team was back on ice on Thursday night for Game 1 of their OUA Eastern Conference finals with the Concordia Stingers. Facing a hot goalie, the Gee-Gees were dominant and outshot their opponents, but after two periods Patrick Grandmaitre’s boys were down by one.
The Carleton Ravens have defeated the University of Ottawa men’s basketball team 96-61. Both teams are still qualified for the USports Championship taking place next week.
After defeating Carleton to earn their place in the OUA semifinals, the Gee-Gees were back at home on Wednesday night for a match full of three-pointers, fast transitions, and hard defence against the Ryerson Rams. The Gee-Gees dug their way out of a 15 point deficit but the Rams took the game 84-76.
Emotions were high on Saturday afternoon following the women’s hockey team’s loss to McGill. The program, which enjoyed a renaissance of sorts this year in the second half of the season, said goodbye to a number of longtime players.
For the first time since its re-establishment in 2016, the U of O men’s hockey program will take part in the OUA East final after defeating the UQTR Patriotes 4-2 in Trois-Rivières Sunday afternoon. The Gee-Gees will have home-ice advantage when they face off with the Concordia Stingers starting this week
The Gee-Gees men’s basketball team took on the Ryerson Rams on Saturday night in what was a blowout in favour of the Gees. The 75-54 win sends Ottawa to the OUA semifinals, where they’ll take on the Carleton Ravens for their third meeting of the season.
The Gee-Gees women’s basketball team was back in action after sitting out the first round with a bye. In a hard-fought quarterfinal matchup, the Gee-Gees took down the Carleton Ravens and got themselves one game closer to the Critelli Cup.
Brendan Jacome scored two goals late in the third period of Friday night’s game to keep the Gee-Gees alive in their best of three series with the UQTR Patriotes. Teammates Kevin Domingue and Jacob Sweeney added empty netters to secure the win for the Gees, who took the game 5-3.
