Sept. 11 vs Concordia

The Bishop’s women’s rugby team hosted the Concordia Stingers shortly before the men’s team did for their own home opener game.

The Gaiters knew Concordia would be a tough team to beat, as they have yet to win a game against them.

With tries scored by junior Erin Epp and senior Katie Locke, who was also awarded the game MVP, the team sadly fell short 28-10.

The women then faced off against the Sherbrooke Vert-et-Or, determined to put their best foot forward. 

After the first half of the game, the Gaiters were trailing 17-7 but came back stronger in the second half to lead the game 19-17. 

Zenith Leroux, Melody Leggett, and Maya Gordon scored tries, while Michelle St. Laurent kicked two successful conversions.

Unfortunately, Sherbrooke converted a penalty and scored a try towards the end of the game, resulting in a disappointing 25-19 loss for the Gaiters.

Just like the men’s team, the women will be travelling to the nation’s capital on Sept. 24 to play the Ottawa Gee-Gee’s. 

To end the month of September, the Gaiters will be hosting Université Laval at 6 p.m. on Sept. 30, so be sure to come and show your support for this hard-working team!
