The big story at the U of L was the women’s rugby team in the Canada West Women’s Rugby Championship. This year’s tournament was in Lethbridge, but the home team couldn’t get it done.

A close 8-7 loss to the University of Calgary on Friday (Oct. 18) sent the ‘Horns to the third place game on Sunday, up against the University of Victoria Vikes.

The men’s team lost 5-0 against the Huskies, while Saturday’s game ended in an 8-3 loss to the U of Saskatchewan. The men’s team is back at home Friday against the University of Alberta.

In their season closer Sunday, they lost 2-0 against the University of Alberta.

A 1-1 tie with the University of Winnipeg on Friday helped the women’s team secure a playoff spot, but they fell 2-0 against the University of Manitoba in their regular season finale Saturday.
