Ottawa Loses First Home Game of the Season to Ryerson

Ottawa lost their first home league match of the season to the Ryerson University Rams 2-3 (23-25, 25-12, 19-25, 25-20, 14-16). Despite the loss, Ottawa still sits in third place in the OUA East Division.

“I give Ryerson full credit for this win. Every match they come out, compete hard and find a way to get the ball back over the net over and over again. We, on the other hand, have to use this to motivate ourselves to work harder and focus on our next match next weekend.” Coach Lionel Woods said after the match.

The Gees next match is Saturday, January 22, 2005, when they host division rivals York University Yoemen at 2:00 pm.
