Gee-Gees improve to 12-4 and 8-0 at home this season
with 3-0 win over Queen's

The Gee-Gees volleyball team won in straight sets over the visiting Queen’s Golden Gaels (25-19, 32-30, 25-18) tonight at Montpetit Hall in Ottawa. The win makes it 8 consecutive wins at home this season for the Gees and moves them six points ahead of York for second place in the OUA East Division.

“This was a big win for us after a tough road trip last weekend. It is going to come right down to the wire to see who will host the quarter final match between us and York. We still have a couple of tough matches left down the stretch against Laurier and then Toronto, but I like this schedule. We finish the season with four home matches to prep for playoffs including our season finale against first place Toronto.” Head Coach Lionel Woods said after the win.

The Gees will next host the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday, February 4, 2006 at 6:30 pm in Monpetit Hall. This promises to be a great match for spectators as the Gees look to avenge their loss to Laurier from the Quality Hotel Ottawa tournament early in the new year.
