For these Gee-Gees, the transition from high school to university sports was not an easy one, but they were eager to prove themselves and make their mark.
After ripping off nine consecutive wins to start the season, the Gee-Gees have not picked up a victory in their last five games.
They’re a team that’s under competitive club status at the University of Ottawa—one step short of varsity—a level that they hope to achieve at some point in the future.
The game was even more important for the Gee-Gees as they said goodbye to their star seniors—Cynthia Leblanc, Julia Francki, and Pilar Khoury along with role players Mélissa Pesant, and Elisabeth Wong.

The University of Ottawa women’s soccer team battled through heat, humidity, and injuries to get their first two wins of the season in back-to-back matches against the Nipissing Lakers, and Laurentian Voyageurs.
