WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
-
After a long layoff, the Gee-Gees and Gaels will do battle in a home-and-home weekend series between familiar foes both ranked in the U SPORTS Top 10 to close off the first half of the season.
-
It will be a battle between two of the best players in the nation when Brigitte Lefebvre-Okankwu and Julia Chadwick meet on the floor this weekend. Lefebvre-Okankwu holds the edge in points per game, while Chadwick has rebounds. The matchup between numbers #21 for Ottawa and #12 for Queen's will be one to watch all night.
-
Lefebvre-Okankwu will likely further etch her name into the record books this weekend, as she currently sits just seven points shy of reaching 1,000 career points, and 10 rebounds away from 500 in her illustrious career for the Garnet and Grey.
-
Gee-Gees fifth-year forward Anne Carr is currently posting the highest field goal percentage in the nation, a whopping nearly six percent higher than her next closest challenger.
