It was a tale of two halfs for the Western Mustangs women’s rugby team Sunday afternoon when they played host to the defending CIS Champion Guelph Gryphons as part of Western’s Homecoming Weekend. Despite strong play in the first half, the Gryphons capitalized on Western’s errors in the second to come away with a 41-0 victory.
After a successful weekend for the Mustangs, three Western teams find themselves in the CIS Top Ten rankings this week. Both women’s and men’s cross country sit comfortably in this season’s initial rankings, while women’s rugby climbs into the Top Ten for the first time in 2012.
Women’s rugby player Lori Josephson and football player Garret Sanvido have been named the Western Mustangs Goodlife Fitness Athletes of the Week for September 24-30.
