OTTAWA - The uOttawa Gee-Gees put on an impressive showing in a 3-1 victory over Queen’s on Thursday night at Montpetit Hall.
 
Head coach Lionel Woods was excited to see his team play their best match this season thus far. “That’s by far the best match we’ve played all season,” said Woods. “We’re working so hard on our mental consistency and trying to mature in how we approach the game and how we can stay stable.”
 
“But Queen’s forced us to play our best match, and kudos to them with such a young team,” he added.
 
In the first set, it was back-and-forth as both teams traded points down the stretch, but ultimately the Gee-Gees would prevail 25-22.
 
The second set was much different, with Queen’s finding a few holes and cruising to a 25-13 win. Nevertheless the Gee-Gees would make theappropriate adjustments, and go on to take the next two sets 25-13, 25-19 for their second win of the season.
 
Fifth-year libero Claudia Séguin (St-Pascal Baylon, Ont.) was named player of the game for the uOttawa Gee-Gees. Woods was more than pleased from what he saw from his veteran libero, “(Claudia) tonight looked like Libero of the Year last year,” said Woods.
 
“Not to say that she doesn’t work hard every night for us, it’s just tonight her feet were moving, she was making all the right reads, and just looked in tuned with the game.”
 
The Gee-Gees will continue their early season homestead when they host RMC (1-1 OUA) on Sunday, October 30, 2011, 4:00 p.m. at Montpetit Hall.
