OTTAWA GAME NOTES

  • Major stat leaders
  • Ottawa looks to complete a perfect regular season by earning one last win. Against the 0-5 McGill Marlets, a 6-0 finish to the 2024-25 regular season is in reach for the Gee-Gees.
  • Aurora Bowie continues to lead the way for the Gee-Gees. The flyhalf has been an outstanding director on the field, giving her teammates plenty of opportunities to score. In addition, Bowie leads the RSEQ with 63 points, a try, two penalty kicks, and 26 converts under her belt.
  • A win would guarantee home field advantage throughout the playoffs for Ottawa with the semi-final scheduled for Oct. 12 and the RSEQ final on Oct. 19.
