Data gathering in progress for last night's Gee-Gees victory after Bell crapped out on me just as I started watching it on oua.tv. 😠 Good to see both university teams win this weekend. 👍
A clutch Nicholas Gendron touchdown snag with just over a minute to go in the fourth quarter gave the Gee-Gees the late lead, and an Alex Douglas interception moments later secured a 20-17 win for uOttawa over the York Lions at TD Place Saturday evening.
...
Ottawa found themselves trailing 17-12 after the Lions returned a tipped ball to the house in the fourth quarter, but the Gee-Gees caught a break of their own. A ball was tipped to Maxim Malenfant to get uOttawa into the red zone, and Gendron's sure hands off a bullet pass from Ben Maracle sent the Gee-Gees faithful into a frenzy....
The game was a tight one, with neither team leading by more than a single score at any point. The score was 9-6 for the visitors at the half, with two Campbell Fair field goals providing the scoring for the Garnet and Grey.
Two more Fair three-pointers made the score 12-9, when disaster struck for Ottawa in the fourth quarter. A tipped ball fell into the hands of Mack Bannatyne, who returned it for the touchdown. A rouge gave York their 17-12 lead, despite their kicker, Dante Mastrogiuseppe being banged up and unable to kick consistently.
Looking to engineer a late drive, Maracle spread the ball around and was assisted by tough running from Amlicar Polk. Finding themselves on the Lions five-yard line and facing third-and-goal, Maracle hit Gendron for the pivotal score.
York got the ball back, but Douglas became the third different Gee-Gee to pick off Lions quarterback Noah Craney on the day. Full recap w/quotes.
