IN THE LOOP UPDATE - GEE-GEES WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL

Ottawa Cracks National Top Ten Poll For The First Time This Season
(Click here to go to National Rankings)

On the strength of a hard fought 3-1 win over #8 ranked University of Toronto this past weekend at Montpetit Hall - in front of a sold out crowd - the Gee-Gees Women's Volleyball Team have cracked the National Top Ten rankings for the first time this year.

The 2004-05 edition of our team has played 21 matches already this season, including competition in 3 of the 4 conferences in the country. We have matched up against perennial favorites such as Sherbrooke (2003 National Champions), Manitoba & Winnipeg, as well as the best from the Atlantic Conference. This variety of play and strong results against some of the best that this country has to
offer has really set this team up well to be ready to take another run at the Ontario title this season.

After a tough loss in the second game of the season to (#8 ranked) Laurier Golden Hawks - the Gees have run off 4 straight wins en route to this newly posted #9 ranking in Canada !

Now comes the next test - there are still four tough matches against divisional rivals during the final two weeks of league play before the X-mas break. And it all starts this weekend with a critical double header at Ryerson and then York University (still undefeated in OUA play).

Congratulation must go out to team veterans #12 Ellen Barwise, #8 Nancy Coelho and #11 Manon Ouellette who have each received player of the game honours during the three home games this season.

Next action at home for the Gees:

Saturday November 27th
2:00 pm match time
vs Queen's University

&

Sunday November 28th
2:00 pm match time
vs RMC (new to the league this year)
