Oct 25th, 1985: Golden Gaels 17 @ Gee-Gees 20

Game summaries posted here tend to be reserved for championship or playoff contests but this one holds a different type of significance.

A couple of weekends ago, I wrote a post about the rapid decline of the University of Ottawa program in 1983 following an undefeated regular season the previous year. They were unable to secure a single victory throughout 1983 and 1984 until finally landing one in the second-to-last game of 1985. This is the game in which that run of futility finally came to an end.


They won the following game as well (against McGill) and actually had a chance at a playoff spot dependent on Carleton winning its last game but that did not come to pass. Still, after a dismal couple of seasons the arrow was pointing up again.
