TWU Women’s Rugby 7’s Debut in Sixth Place At First Tourney

Edmonton – Trinity Western’s women’s rugby 7s team finished sixth overall in their first-ever tournament on the Canada West Rugby 7s Series.

On Day 2 of the eight-team tournament in Edmonton, the Spartans beat Fraser Valley 28-19 in the consolation semifinal to earn the first women’s 7s victory in school history. In the 5th-place match, the Spartans lost to Calgary 38-5. 

Playing the Cascades in the consolation semifinal, the Spartans and UFV trading tries through the first half and early on in the second half. Sammi Thiessen (Abbotsford, B.C.) scored twice in the first half before Michelle Veerman Quezada (White Rock, B.C.) tallied in the second half, with both using outside speed to find space. With Tausani Levale (Abbotsford, B.C.) converting each of TWU’s first three tries, the Spartans went ahead midway through the second half, 21-19, with UFV having missed the conversion on their third try. Levale then scored herself, taking the ball from a penalty and using some fancy footwork to get past UFV’s defence, before diving across to put the game out of reach.

Against the Dinos, the game ended with almost an identical score line as their matchup on Day 1 (36-7). Calgary was able to take advantage their speed on the edges to secure athe win, scoring six tries to TWU’s one. Nicolett Duchesne (Surrey, B.C) scored TWU’s lone try of the match.

TWU finished the tournament scoring six tries, with Thiessen and Veerman Quezada each scoring twice and Levale and Duchesne finding the try area once apiece.
