OTTAWA GAME NOTES 

  • Major stat leaders:  
  • The Gee-Gees are on the hunt to claim second place in the RSEQ, but after suffering a loss to McGill earlier in the season, Ottawa won't be able to take the top spot even with a win on Saturday.
  • Last season, Glenn Roy scored 17 points against the Carabins, putting up four converts in the matchup.
  • A win against the Carabins would put the Gee-Gees at 5-1. That would make it the winningest season for the Gee-Gees since joining the RSEQ.

    • Tries: Faustin Farison – 3
    • Converts: Audric Paris – 9
  • The Carabins are on a three game winning streak, picking up victories over Carleton, Bishop's and Concordia.
