Wins by Men's Rugby and Basketball
highlight busy Gaiters' Friday night October 30, 2009
LENNOXVILLE - The Bishop's Gaiters were in action on four fronts on
a busy Friday night in Lennoxville, with Men's Rugby and Men's

went down to defeat. Men's Rugby advanced to their third straight QURU

fought off a late comeback attempt to defeat the UPEI Panthers 82-80.
Earlier in the evening, Women's Soccer fell 4-1 to McGill in their final
home game of the season. The only road action for the Gaiters involved
the Lacrosse team, who dropped a 6-5 decision to McGill in their CUFLA
Quarter-final game.
MEN'S RUGBY: The Pack attacked for Gaiters Men's Rugby, as the
forwards accounted for both Gaiters tries in a 15-12 semifinal win over
the Concordia Stingers. The Gaiters led throughout, as Billy Murphy
(Richmond, Que.) opened the scoring with a 32-yard penalty goal in the
5th minute. No. 8 Ryan Lethbridge (Ottawa, Ont.) extended the Gaiters'
lead to 8-0 with a try on the stroke of halftime. Concordia's Percy
Graham ran the ball in from ten yards out in the 57th minute to narrow
the margin to 8-5. However, Gaiters' Flanker Mathieu Alexandre
(Ste-Catherine-de-Hatley, Que.) clinched the game four minutes later,
after the pack had pushed the ball into the end zone. Murphy's
conversion pushed the lead out to 15-5. The Stingers pulled pack in the
last minute as they were awarded a penalty try, and Xavier Birot's
convert put Concordia to within three. It proved to be too little, too
late, however, as the Gaiters celebrated their fourth straight win. The Gaiters will face the McGill Redmen

Union Championship game. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Percival Molson
