After winning 11 of 13 games in the preseason, the Gee-Gees women's volleyball team was able to carry their momentum into the regular season as uOttawa defeated Windsor 3-0 on the road. This match marked the regular season opener for the nationally seventh-ranked Gee-Gees. Ottawa also beat the Lancers on the road last season by the same 3-0 score.

The Gee-Gees never let up, taking a 19-10 lead and finishing the set with a 25-16 win. The Gee-Gees had 10 service aces, characteristic for a program that has been one of the best serving teams in the CIS for the past few seasons.


And in the third and final set of play, Ottawa got off to 8-4 and 16-8 leads, before winning in a blowout, 25-13.
"Although we only had nine available players for the game, everyone contributed and we had a strong showing on the road for the first win of the season," said Gee-Gees head coach Lionel Woods.
