Ottawa, ON - It was a cold and windy Saturday afternoon as the Mustangs & uOttawa Gee Gees took to the field in Ottawa. 

The Mustangs came into the game 6-0 and looking to secure 1st place and home field advantage through the playoffs. 

The defense was the story of the 1st quarter as both teams kept each other at bay including a Mustangs drive with 4 minutes left to go. They were able to get the ball to the 1-yard line but couldn't drive it in to the end zone.

Western would open the offensive scoring in the 2nd quarter when Alex Taylor would take the ball and run for an 88-yard TD and extend the lead to 9-0. 

Marc Liegghio extended the Western lead to 12-0 near the end of the 1st half with a field goal with 2:57 left.

The Mustangs defense was solid holding the Gee Gees off the board through the 1st half. 

Mid-way through the 3rd quarter the Mustangs drove the ball down the field and finished with short TD run for Cedric Joseph that made it a 19-0 Western lead. 

After missing last week's game against Windsor, Taylor picked up right where he left off when he ran a dazzling 47-yard run to make it 26-0 Western. 

Western's dominant afternoon continued in the 2nd half when Antonio Valvano would receive a 5-yard TD pass from Chris Merchant and that would make it a 33-0 Mustang lead. 

That score would hold up as the final and keeps the Mustangs perfect on the season with a 7-0 record and means they will guarantee 1st place in the OUA standings.

The loss takes Ottawa to 5-2.
