Despite the loss, the team did get recognition for the players’ hard work. Seven Gee-Gees players were recognized by the OUA for their strong performances this year, both on and off the field.

Baines’ great numbers and awards earned him some recognition professionally, since he was recently signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders and will attend training camp in May.
Despite some disappointing team finishes, the standout individual performances of Gee-Gees athletes this year can’t be overshadowed.
The Gee-Gees came up a little short on the weekend, and ended their otherwise fantastic season with two tough losses and a fourth-place finish in the league.
The Gees’ biggest strength was their defensive play. They ranked second overall in the OUA in points allowed per game, giving up an average of only 54.2 PPG.
With their sixth consecutive win in the bag, the Garnet and Grey have the longest winning streak in the country, and with five games left in the regular season they are showing no signs of slowing down.
The Gees looked out of sorts all game, and a major blowout was the end result. When the last buzzer mercifully sounded the final score read an embarrassing 80–41.
After back-to-back victories against Lakehead University, the Gees came out and played a solid 60 minutes against a struggling Laurentian team to propel their record in the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) conference to 11–7–3.
Following this weekend series, the Gees hold a 5–5 record and are tied for third place in the RSEQ.
At this point in the year, veterans like Soriano and Besselink are doing their very best to guarantee success for the Gees in the regular season.
