RICHMOND HILL, Ont. - For the fourth straight week, the Golden Hawks hold the number one spot. Â
The Ottawa Gee-Gees gave the Golden Hawks a tough test last Saturday, but the Golden Hawks weathered the storm on a clutch goal line stand to win 30-24. Â
There was some movement from conference schools in the latest standings. Western, previously in the third spot moved up to second, and Queen's, previously number nine, jumped up to the eighth seed. Ottawa remained at number ten. Â
The Golden Hawks and Western Mustangs remain the only two undefeated teams in U SPORTS.Â
