With so many new players, the Gee-Gees will have some growing to do early in the year. But with the right combination of veterans, recruits, and transfers, they have the potential to compete with the perennial powerhouses in the RSEQ, McGill and Université de Montréal.
Despite some disappointing team finishes, the standout individual performances of Gee-Gees athletes this year can’t be overshadowed.
Even though the Gees ultimately lost to the Université de Montréal Carabins by a final score of 2–1, they didn’t go down without putting up a fight.
After pulling off an impressive 3–0 victory against the UQAM Citadins on Feb. 10, the University of Ottawa women’s volleyball team geared up for their final home game of the regular season the very next day.

The Gees only have four games remaining before the playoffs, and while they are holding on to second place in the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ), they’re not guaranteed anything yet.
The women’s volleyball team was hoping for a better start to the second half of their season after going 5–5 in the first ten games. Instead they went 1–1 this weekend going up against McGill and the University of Sherbrooke.
Despite putting in a solid effort, the Gees couldn’t keep up with the sheer size and speed of McGill’s players and fell to the Martlets by a final score of 4–2.
Following this weekend series, the Gees hold a 5–5 record and are tied for third place in the RSEQ.
Even though Concordia is ranked near the bottom of the RSEQ, they definitely came to play on Sunday and kept the Gee-Gees on their toes right until the bitter end.
The Minto Sports Complex played host to a real nail-biter on Sunday, Nov. 20, with the University of Ottawa women’s hockey team managing to sneak in a 4–3 shootout win against Carleton.
This weekend served as a microcosm of the Gees’ uneven 2016-17 season. They lost to last-place UQAM for the second time this season, but came out on top against first-place Montréal for the second time this season.
Despite putting up a great fight, the Ravens were no match for a motivated Gees offence, who outpaced the Ravens to a 7–4 victory.

The Stingers absolutely lit up the Gee-Gee net in the second period, pouring in four goals. The Gees had fallen too far behind to stage a comeback, despite having 11 scoring opportunities in the final frame.
The Gee-Gees will hope to take the cold-blooded clutch moment as foreshadowing for more key wins against top teams.
A victory means that the Gees were crowned the national bronze medalists, an improvement on last year and the highest finish in team history.
With the win at home, the team officially clinched the top spot in the RSEQ standings ahead of Concordia (6-1-0) and Laval (5-0-2).
The seemingly unstoppable Gee-Gees women’s rugby team extended their undefeated season with a dominant 33-7 win over conference contender Université de Montréal Carabins.
Coming into a massive game at home against then seventh-ranked Concordia, the Gees needed a statement win to prove they deserve a place among the nation’s elite.
After losing two consecutive games in their first week of preseason action, the women’s hockey team said ‘no more’. Hungry for a win, the team amped up their performance, resulting in two colossal victories.
The key this year for the Gee-Gees team is to improve their goal scoring as well as number of shots-per-game. Their schedule won’t get easier with regular matchups against the Martlets and Carabins, but that just means they need to prepare themselves as best as they can before the real action starts.
