Women’s squad avenges last year’s defeat with historic victory The University of Ottawa Women’s rugby team took on fellow Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) rival l’Université de Laval Rouge et Or in the U Sports National Championship game on Nov. 5.

The Gee-Gees women’s rugby team have won the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) championship for the fourth year in a row, defeating the University of Laval in a hardfought game.
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.
After a stunning, undefeated run to the national final, the Gee-Gees women’s rugby team fell just short of their goal, returning to Ottawa with a silver medal and the pride of the entire school.
It was a hard-fought battle, but the Gee-Gees prevailed, proving why they’re the best team in their conference and perhaps the nation.
The depleted and demoralized Garnet and Grey squad was unable to get any sort of momentum.
