VANCOUVER – Once again it all came down to the final game of the weekend, but this time the UBC Thunderbirds claimed the glory and the top spot ahead of the University of Victoria Vikes at the second Canada West women's rugby 7s series tournament of the year.
Both teams had a perfect record of four wins going into their clash at Thunderbird Stadium on Saturday afternoon, but the Thunderbirds got revenge for the Vikes breaking their 18-game winning streak at the first tournament in Edmonton three weeks ago, coming from behind for a hard-fought 17-7 win against their bitter BC rivals to finish top of the standings.
Trinity Western finished third in the standings after a pair of wins on Saturday, beating Calgary Dinos 15-5 and Alberta Pandas for a final record of three wins and two losses on the weekend. Danika Dool led the Spartans with four tries.
Calgary came up with a big 19-5 win over Lethbridge Pronghorns in their final game of the tournament to finish 4th with a record of one win, one draw, and three defeats.
Lethbridge finish 5th in the standings with one win and four defeats from their five games, while Alberta were 6th, with a final record of one draw and four defeats.
