Gees come back to play after a 14 day layoff with an impressive
3-1 win over McMaster to jump back into 2nd place in the OUA East

The Gee-Gees continued their home winning streak with a 3-1 win over OUA West Division opponents, McMaster Marauders (25-18, 25-17, 22-25, 25-11).

The Gees’ win came after a long two week bye and was an important test, as the Marauders came into the match second in the West Division and ranked nationally in the top 15.

“The two weekends off were nice but it was a long time between competitions and I twe showed some of that rust. However, I am very happy with how the team finished that match, in particular our defensive adjustments after losing the third set. We have a tough schedule for the next seven days with three more matches, but we are going to make sure we only focus on a single match at a time.” Head Coach Lionel Woods said after the match.

Ottawa will host the Guelph Gryphons Sunday, November 20th, at 2:00 pm.
