Friday night under the lights on Trent field the Women’s rugby team managed to earn a 5-5 tie with the University of Toronto Blues. Although the Trent pack dominated for most of the game, lack of finish and some poor decision making, left them fighting hard to get back in the game after Toronto’s player of the match, Lee-anne Corrigan, scored late in the first half on a bruising run.

Trent winger, Danielle Julius-Williams, put her team back in contention after taking a well timed pass from Celeigh Harris. The game ended with the team frustrated as they repeatedly backed Toronto on to their goal line.

The players look forward to finally gelling as a team for their important match next home game Friday night against arch rival Queen’s university.
