MONTREAL -- Samantha Alli scored 20 points as the undefeated Ottawa Gee-Gees dominated McGill 72-5 in women's rugby at Percival Molson Stadium, Sunday.

Ottawa, which went undefeated in conference play last season and claimed the CIS bronze medal, has now emerged victorious in four consecutive meetings with the Martlets, dating back to a 27-17 McGill semifinal conquest on Oct. 19, 2013.

The Gee-Gees carried an imposing 31-0 lead into the intermission courtesy of five tries, three of which were successfully converted.

Alli, a 5-foot-7 health sciences sophomore from Caledon, Ont., tallied four tries in the contest, followed by teammate Simone Savary of Brampton, Ont., with three. Ottawa native Emma Sandstrom made six conversions for 12 points.

Emily Challice, a science senior from Lakefield, Ont., -- and the daughter of former McGill football player Jeff Challice -- scored McGill's lone try in the 67th minute.

Alexandria Ellis, Fiona McNeill-Knowles, Emily Gray, Patricia Mandon, and Madison Cunha also contributed tries for the Gee-Gees.

The Martlets (0-3) will travel to Lennoxville next week to face Bishop's (0-3) on Sept. 23, while
Ottawa (3-0) visits Concordia (2-1) on Sept. 25.
