Ottawa Stays Perfect At Home With 3-0 Win Over Queen’s

Obviously Ottawa loves playing at home as they extended their home winning to three in as many chances. After a tough weekend away, Ottawa retuned home to another big
weekend crowd as they hosted Eastern Ontario rivals, the Queen’s Golden Gaels.

Each set was a back and forth battle, but as each set wound down, the Gee’s stepped up to claim the win. Ottawa won the match 25-21, 26-24, 25-21.

“This was a great win for us! Not because of the score but because of our execution. Everyone who stepped on the court did their job and no matter what happened the players didn’t let things get out of control. They stayed focused and kept pushing for the win. This defintiely showed me the character that is continuing to build within our team.” Coach Lionel Woods said after the win.

With the win, Ottawa remains two points behind second place Toronto in the OUA East Division with one game in hand. Tomorrow, Ottawa hosts OUA’s newest team, RMC, November 28 at 2:00 pm.
