The two-time defending champion Western Mustangs showed no mercy on the Toronto Friday, defeating the Varsity Blues by a lopsided score of 108-0. Amy Jordan led the way in the romp with five tries, while Kelly Russell (four tries) and Gillian McCallum (three tries) added 35 more points between them. Six other Western players had a try each. Danielle Jacques had five conversions and a penalty goal. The Mustangs are first in the Sheils Division, ahead of the 3-1-0 Guelph Gryphons, who handled the McMaster Marauders 68-7 Thursday to kick the week of play off. Fourth-year Toronto native Leila Hughes led the Gryphons with 15 points from three tries and Michelle Austin chipped in 13 more on a try and four conversions. Shannon Kane and Kendra Kryszak had two tries each for Guelph.

The Queen’s Golden Gaels remain on top of the Russell Division after winning their fifth straight match of the year 25-14 over the York Lions. Kelly Lagace had two tries to lead Queen’s, while Erin Bailey and Laura Cooney each added tries. York flyhalf Cheryl Phillips was once again the lone bright spot for the Lions, scoring all 14 points on a try and three penalty goals. Phillips, a Scarborough, ON native, has 54 points in five matches to lead the OUA (24 more points than the closest competitor). She is third in CIS scoring.

The Laurier Golden Hawks remained two points behind Queen’s with a 10-5 win over the Trent Excalibur. Dorothy Attakora-Gyan and Megan Wiles each had a try for the Golden Hawks, while Charlotte Kloosterman had Trent’s only points on a try. The Brock Badgers got a try from second-year Oakville native Laura Muddiman as they slipped past the Waterloo Warriors 5-0 at home in muddy conditions.
