OUA W-SOCCER ROUNDUP: NO. 3 GEE-GEES ROUT LADY VEES
OTTAWA, Ont. - After recording their first loss to Queen's on Wednesday night, the Ottawa Gee-Gees were not about to let another game slip by, defeating the Laurentian Lady Vees 7-0 Saturday afternoon, for their seventh shutout of the season.
The Gee-Gees came out aggressively against the Lady Vees (3-5-1) from the start, with second-year defender Nikki Moreau (Almonte, Ont.) scoring the first goal five minutes into the game. Midfielders Catherine Scott (Pointe-Claire, Que.) and Élise Desjardins (Cumberland, Ont.) scored two back-to-back goals 35 minutes in, and third-year defender Gillian Baggot (Ottawa) scored one final goal at 43 minutes, to finish 4-0 at the half.
The team continued to share the scoring, with striker Sara Bullock (Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.) and midfielders Corina Jarrett (Ottawa) and Brittany Harrison (Burlington, Ont.) scoring a goal each to give the Gee-Gees the 7-0 win.
"That is something we strive for," said Harrison, "Having different people score."
Second-year goalkeeper Mélissa Pesant (Gatineau, Que.) and first-year Lisa Anne Sachsalber (Richmond Hill, Ont.) shared the shutout for the Gee-Gees.
"The whole focus was on playing more aggressive and playing more of an attacking style," said head coach Steve Johnson. "I think (the win) has restored confidence in the girls."
The Gee-Gees outshot the Voyageurs 12 to one.
