“They executed perfect rugby the whole tournament and that was because of the extreme effort that all 38 players put into improvement.” says Senior girls head coach Shannon Atkins. 

Atkins also highlighted the efforts of senior girls’ team captains Sofia Atkins and Ava Ference who are going on to play rugby at Guelph University and Harvard University respectively.
