Oct 29th, 2021 - A fourth quarter touchdown scamper from Ben Maracle proved to be the difference for the Gee-Gees football team, who defeated the Carleton Ravens 24-19 Thursday evening in front of a frenetic TD Place crowd (RBR edit: the OUA website shows attendance at 1248).
Maracle accounted for three touchdowns on the day – two on the ground and one through the air – as the Gee-Gees wrapped their regular season with a 3-3 record.

Ottawa started the scoring early, moving their way down the field with ease on their first drive of the game, capped off by Maracle's first touchdown run.
Following a Campbell Fair field goal, Daniel Oladejo flew through the air to haul in an arching Maracle touchdown pass – the most acrobatic touchdown of the Gee-Gees season.
The Ravens got 10 points back to close out the second quarter, making the score 17-10 at the interval.
The offences sputtered to start the second half, with Carleton only managing a third quarter field goal.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Garnet and Grey took over the ball around midfield and some tough running from Dawson Odei moved the ball into the red zone. Maracle tucked and ran for his second rushing TD of the game.
The Ravens made it interesting late by finding the end zone, but standout rookie Eric Cumberbatch made a key pass breakup to prevent a two-point convert. Odei then took over with several punishing runs to finish the game and secure Ottawa's second victory of the year over their crosstown rivals.
The summary above does not name JP Cimankinda but attention really should be drawn to his performance, as the rushing statistics below will underscore. He was adding up yardage in large chunks, particularly in the first half.
