SHERBROOKE, Que. – The Bishop's Gaiters head to different corners of the province and even venture into Ontario this weekend as seven teams will see action.  The women's soccer team plays a pair of games, one at home on Friday night and one in Montreal on Sunday. The women's rugby squad hosts No. 10 Ottawa on Friday and the No. 8 football team travels to McGill, while the men's rugby troop is across town playing the Concordia Stingers. The men's and women's basketball squads both play a trio of pre-season games in Ontario and the weekend is capped off on Monday night when the Lacrosse crew plays Concordia in Montreal.
 
Women's soccer (2-6-0) will host the (2-6-0) Concordia Stingers on Friday night.  Game time is 6 p.m.  The Gaiters return home from Quebec City after losing 1-0 to the No. 2 Laval Rouge et Or (7-0-1) on Sunday.  Concordia fell to McGill (5-2-1) 1-0.  The Gaiters won 2-1 when they visited the Stingers earlier in the season.  They will then travel to Montreal to play UQAM (1-6-1) on Sunday afternoon.  Game time is 1 p.m.  Bishop's beat UQAM 1-0 earlier in this year. 
 
Women's rugby (0-5) will face the No. 10 University of Ottawa Gee-Gees (4-1) on Friday night on Coulter Field.  The Lady Gaiters are coming off a loss in Montreal to the then No. 7 ranked McGill Martlets (4-1).  The Gee-Gee's lost last weekend to Concordia (5-0) who were ranked No. 4 at the time.  In the 2012 season, Bishop's fell to Ottawa.  The Gaiters look to take advantage of the home crowd being back on Coulter Field for the first time since homecoming.  Game time is 8:15 p.m.
