Gee-Gees Volleyball:
Gees Get Second Win Of The Weekend & A Share of 2nd Place In OUA East

It took all five sets, but Ottawa bounced back from their first home loss yesterday to defeat the University of Windsor Lancers 3-2 in a two hour match. The win puts the Gees within two points of second place in the OUA East Division. Ottawa will get the chance to pull even with Queen’s as they travel to Kingston on Wednesday night for their next league match.

In today’s match, Ottawa came out strong in the first set and used an early lead and solid defence to win the first set 25-19. In the second set, Windsor kept on fighting and recovered from an early deficit to come back and take the set 25-21. The Lancers used that win to capture the third set as well 25-22.

Despite being down 2-1, Ottawa kept their composure and forced a fifth set with a 25-21 win in the forth set.

Ottawa and Windsor continued to battle in the fifth set with both teams struggling to pull ahead. In the end, the Gees finally managed to gain the two point spread to win the set and match through the key hitting of left-side hitter Christine Lamey and tactical second ball attacking of 4th year setter, Ellen Barwise.
