The Gee-Gees women's soccer team only has four games left on their regular season schedule. Yet to be defeated, the team is on a four-game win streak since their draw with Queen's in September. Ottawa's high-powered offence is ranked second in the OUA in goals, scoring 39 in 8 games (two games behind the leader).
Attention will be on reigning U SPORTS National Player of the Year as she approaches the Gee-Gees record she set in 2022 with 18 regular season goals. With 16 goals registered heading into the weekend, it is possible Provost could make history yet again.
