The women's soccer team welcomed the uOttawa Gee-Gees on home turf Sunday afternoon. The Voyageurs ended up dropping the contest 3-0, to the number one ranked team in the OUA East standings.

In the first five minutes, both teams kept the ball in the midfield, with the first save being made by Laurentian goalkeeper Hunter Jones at the fifth minute mark. Laurentian's Megan Short attempted to score at the 24th minute, but it was denied by uOttawa's goalkeeper. Ten minutes later, uOttawa netted their first goal of the game. Jones made several saves to keep it 1-0 for the Gee-Gees at the end of the first period.

Shortly after the half, Laurentian had an opportunity to score off a corner kick from Cass Armstrong, but uOttawa cleared the ball to go score another goal, making it 2-0. A few minutes later, Armstrong kicked it in an attempt to scorer, but the ball went wide. The Gee-Gees saw numerous opportunities, but Jones refused to let the ball get past her, until the 88th minute, where they scored the last goal of the game. The Gee-Gees took the 3-0 win, while Jones finished the game with 11 saves.

The loss concludes the season for the women's soccer team, ending their season with a 2-9-1 record.

As this game was also the senior send off, the women's soccer team highlighted seven graduating players. Best of luck to Kaylee Spridgeon (#2), Charlie Frew (#5), Megan Short (#6), Clare Dasek (C, #8), Cass Armstrong (#9), Océane La Via (#10) and Caitlyne Kervin (#14).
