87-60 Loss at* Carleton (15-5)
72-64 Loss vs Brock (12-8)

It was a challenging weekend for the Gee-Gees against two of the league's top teams. At the Capital Hoops Classic, Ottawa went toe-to-toe with rival Carleton in the first half, entering the third quarter down by just a single point. However, a monster second half from the Ravens put the game out of reach on the big stage. Back at home against Brock, a cold third quarter created a deficit that a furious fourth-quarter rally couldn't quite overcome.
