GEE-GEES, MCCONVILLE AND BATTEN SHOW GOAL SCORING TOUCH
Seven different Ottawa players made the scoresheet as the No. 3 Gee-Gees kicked off a perfect weekend of play with a dominating 7-0 win over the Ryerson Rams. Katie Lugg opened the scoring in just the third minute, while Rachael Swetnam, Valerie May, Maude Filion-Collin, Elise Desjardins, Sara Bullock and Jessica Nooyen all found the back of the net for the potent Ottawa side. The Gee-Gees followed that sparkling performance up with a 3-0 shutout win over the Toronto Varsity Blues. Courtney Luscombe scored twice for the East leaders, with May adding her six goal of the year in eight matches. The two clean sheets marked the second and third wins of the week for Ottawa, as they also got by rival Queen's 2-1 Wednesday. May and Bullock had the Gee-Gees goals. Eilish McConville replied for the Gaels.
McConville erupted in the two Queen's matches following the loss to Ottawa. The fourth-year striker scored twice in a 4-1 win over the Laurentian Lady Vees Saturday and then exploded for four goals in a 6-2 thrashing of Nipissing. Kaley Robinson added a pair in the Laurentian match. At 6-1-1, the Gaels are just one point behind the Gee-Gees in the East, with Carleton close behind in third at 16 points.
The Ravens didn't allow a goal in their two outings this week, drawing 0-0 with Toronto Friday before producing a solid 2-0 win over Ryerson on second-half goals from Sarah Marcantonio and Amber Prosia. Angela Penfound was in net for both Ravens clean sheets.
The West-leading Laurier Golden Hawks picked up six points from a pair of 2-1 wins over Guelph and Waterloo Wednesday and Friday but they were halted Sunday at McMaster, as the Marauders received a hat-trick from Samantha Batten and a clean sheet from keeper Amy Holt in a 3-0 victory. The trick brings the first-year striker's season tally to six goals in eight matches. At 4-0-4 with 16 points, McMaster is the only remaining undefeated team in the OUA other than Ottawa.
Elsewhere around the league, Ryerson defeated Trent 3-1 Wednesday, Nipissing scored three late goals to rally past RMC 4-2 Saturday, Western blanked the Windsor Lancers 5-0 Saturday with Kate Crowley scoring a pair, while Brock and McMaster drew 1-1 Saturday. In Sunday action, Laurentian improved to 3-2-4 with a 3-0 win over RMC and the defending OUA champion York Lions won their only match of the week as Nicole Burling and Ashley DePalma had first-half strikes in a 2-0 victory over Guelph. Fourth-year keeper Aurelia Gumiela recorded her fourth clean sheet of the campaign for the Lions.
