Will the Lady GEE GEES gallop to the UPA College Championship?

Nation,

Here's a round-up of the Canadian schools that have played in this spring's UPA sectionals thus far.

While it seems that we have more mens teams entering into the series, it is yet again the women that offer our best hope to make the UPA College finals. Last year UBC won the championship and we wondered if we would get the chance to see a Canadian championship. UBC seems to have fallen back a bit this year but will be a favorite to return to the finals.

Ottawa's Lady Gee Gees seem to have taken a step forward this year. They enter regionals 18-1
with a major tournament win and an impressive showing at President's Day. They possess high end talent ( Anne Mercier, Kate Crump, Alex Benedict) and a "supporting cast" that could be the stars on many college teams (Sam Morris, Sonia Komendia, Kathryn Pohran, etc).

Can Ottawa win? It seems very possible but their major competition will come from the following:

California-Santa Barbara- Ottawa beat them head to head 15-11 at Centex
Stanford- 1-1 versus UBC, and lost to Ottawa in only matchup.
Oregon- Have beaten every team they have faced except Santa Barbara

As fans, we await the results to happen and hope, for a second year, we have a canadian team at the top of the UPA college podium.
