OUA Women's Soccer: UOIT defeated RMC 4-0 KINGSTON, Ont. – The No. 5 ranked UOIT women's soccer team earned their fourth shutout of the season as they blanked the RMC Paladins 4-0 in Kingston on Sunday.
The Ridgebacks remain undefeated with a 7-0-2 record, but trail Ottawa (9-1-0), who won their ninth straight game, by four points. UOIT is the only team to beat Ottawa this season, as they edged the Gee-Gees 3-2 in their season opener.
