The Gees are still undefeated in the 2015 season, topping the OUA East with an impressive 9-0-3 record.
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.
The Gee-Gees were playing somewhat hobbled, with multiple injuries stemming from last year’s lengthy playoff run. Talent still exists in this Gee-Gees squad, but it’ll take time for this year’s team to click.

With the last four games of the season played in only nine days, the Gee-Gees women’s soccer team has shown they can hold onto a winning streak.
“Our defence is getting better and our forwards are clicking, and definitely winning helps the team morale,” said Francki.
After a disappointing end of the season last year when they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by the Queen’s Gaels in penalty kicks, the Gee-Gees women’s soccer team is off to a good start.
