Ottawa Finish First Half With 3-0 Win Over RMC

Ottawa extended their home winning streak to four and end the first half of the season with a 3-0 win (25-13, 25-14, 25-17) over the Royal Military College Paladins.

The Gees’ ball control was the key factor to the win. The match was highlighted by the play of Ottawa’s rookie class, including having all six rookies start the third set with second year setter Laura Simons.

Ottawa now has a week of training left before the December break to continue
building on their first half results including an inter-squad match Friday, December 3. Ottawa will also be hosting their annual high school tournament December 4-5.

The Gees return back to CIS action in January when they host the 20th Annual Quality Hotel Invitational, January 7-9, 2005. Teams attending the tournament will be: McMaster, McGill, Sherbrooke, Guelph, St-Mary’s, Ryerson and Queens
