VANCOUVER – The University of Calgary Dinos rode a dominant performance to a 36-10 win over the UBC Thunderbirds in Canada West women's rugby action Sunday afternoon at Wolfson Field.

The win improves Calgary's record to 2-0 after they knocked off the Vikes Friday in Victoria.

UBC scrum-half Kassi Welch and co-captain Mackenzie Lee ran in the team's pair of second-half tries, while the Dinos played a consistently strong game with six different players finding the 'Birds in-goal area.

The Dinos pushed hard in the opening portion of the first half, hovering within a few yards of the T-Birds try line. Kasselle Menin finally carried in the Dinos' opening try in the 18th minute, with Elysa Sandron and Temitope Ogunjimi adding two more by halftime. A successful conversion late in the half gave Calgary a commanding 17-0 lead after 40.

The T-Birds muscled their way towards Calgary's zone in the 52nd minute, allowing Welch to drive in her team's first try of the match. A successful conversion from Nicole Mallow gave UBC a much needed seven points.  

By the time Lee made her formidable run and try in the 60th minute, the Dinos had reached a commanding 31-10 lead. Calgary's Emily Tuttosi laid down a final try seven minutes later, securing the 36-10 finish.

UBC will be on the hunt for their first 'W' when they host the Alberta Pandas on Sunday, October 2 at Wolfson Field.

Calgary will host Lethbridge (0-1) the same day, marking their first home game of the 2016 season.
