Ottawa Game Notes

  • Major stat leaders 
  • Ottawa had a successful home opener against Trent with four different Gee-Gees getting on the scoresheet. 
  • Nibo Dlamini's corner and free kicks have led to many scoring chances for Ottawa. With three assists, Dlamini is tied for third in the OUA. 
  • Ottawa has only played four games so far this season, while many of their opponents already have six or seven games under their belt. Playing against a team they know they can score goals against should be positive for building chemistry.

    • Goals: Natalie Coscarella – 2  
    • Assists: Darienna Patkau, Tianna Wilson – 1  
  • Trent is currently on a three-game losing streak, dropping games to Laurentian, Queen's, and Toronto. 
  • The Excalibur have scored three goals this season, all in different games. 
  • Trent's only win this season was a 1-0 victory over RMC.

Ottawa Game Notes

  • Major stat leaders 
  • Historically, Ottawa has been dominant against RMC, registering 28 shutouts against them.  
  • Last time the Gee-Gees had two games on the road, Cassandra Provost scored a handful of goals. Eyes will be on her to match her five-goal weekend and get closer to breaking her own record breaking 18 goal regular season from last year. 
  • After RMC, the Gee-Gees are home for three consecutive games, starting with Carleton. 

RMC Game Notes

  • Major stat leaders 
    • Goals: Courtney Drew – 1   
    • Shots: Courtney Drew – 14   
  • RMC has struggled during the 2023 season, having yet to win a game, and only scoring a single goal so far. Algoma is the only other team who has scored 1 goal (last in the OUA). 
  • RMC's closest game was a 1-0 loss to Trent. 
  • Courtney Drew, a striker, has worked to get the RMC offence going. She has registered one goal in 14 shots (6 on goal), leading the team in both categories.
