In a battle of AUS women’s rugby powerhouses on a sunny Sunday afternoon in front of over 300 fans, the U SPORTS No. 6 ranked STFX X-Women and the Acadia Axewomen played to a 33-33 tie.
Since he was promoted to head coach two years ago, the James Voye-led UPEI Panthers have never lost at home to the STFX X-Women…until today.
Two tries in the last 20 minutes gave them a shot, but the Acadia Axewomen (0-2) were unable to complete the comeback as the STFX X-Women (2-0) held on for a narrow 21-19 victory on Sunday night.
