STE. ANNE DE BELLEVUE, Que. - Fullback Brianna Miller, a freshman from Pte. Claire, Que., tallied a pair
of tries as the McGill women's rugby team closed out the regular
season with a 28-12 victory over visiting Ottawa Gee-Gees in Quebec
University Rugby League play at McEwen Field, Wednesday.
The result clinched third-place for McGill in the six-team
conference. Both McGill and Ottawa finished with identical 3-3
records but Ottawa was relegated to fourth-place as they split
their two-game series with the Martlets, who had outscored Ottawa
24-19 in head-to-head matchups.
The Martlets, who led 12-5 at halftime, had eight points from
veteran Steph Lynam of Beaconsfield, Que., who
registered a pair of penalty kicks and added a conversion.
Other McGill tries were notched by sophomore Jessica Wong of Toronto and Mandy Mongeon, a
senior from Ile-Bizard, Que., who opened the scoring in the 15th
minute of play.
Lana Dingwell of Ottawa and Natasha
Watcham-Roy of Val des Monts, Que., accounted for all of
the Gee-Gees points, with one try apiece in addition to a
conversion by Dingwell.
"I was pleased with our performance tonight," said head coach
Vince deGrandpre. " Although we made a number of
mistakes early in the game and took some penalties which kept the
game close in the first half, we finally got our act together after
halftime and I think that Ottawa was in our end only a few times
for the remainder of the game."
A less than pleased Ottawa head coach Suzanne
Chaulk was clearly frustrated with her team's inability to
sustain that momentum: "The try we scored in the first half was a
beautiful team try, and it looked like we had great momentum and we
were going to do something with it. But then we decided not to
play, took a million penalties, and made stupid decisions."
McGill will now meet second-place Laval (4-2) in a semifinal
affair, slated to be played Saturday at 1 p.m. in Quebec City. The
Rouge et Or won the only meeting between the teams this season,
with a 27-12 conquest in the provincial capital.
The Martlets are on a bit of a roll, winning two of their last
three games, sandwiched around a hard-fought 30-20 setback to the
undefeated Concordia Stingers.
"We have a young team and have been working towards just making
the playoffs," deGrandpre added. "We are right where we want to be
and we'll give Laval a tough game."
The other semi will pit Ottawa against division-leading
Concordia (6-0) on Sunday.
