Gaiters' Jacquie Laidler to start for Canada against Team USA
January 16, 2010 Jacquie Laidler LENNOXVILLE
– Jacquie Laidler, a first-year centre with the Bishop's Gaiters Women's
Rugby team, will be in the starting lineup as the Canadian
Under-20 Women's National Team takes on the United States this afternoon
in Tampa, Fla. Laidler, the only player based in the Quebec
University Rugby Union to be named to the squad, will start at prop,
which has been her natural position. "We absolutely could not be prouder, Jacquie battled
back from a broken leg earlier this fall to prepare for this camp,
something she has been working for and preparing for for a very long
time," said Eryn Hessian, the Head Coach of the Gaiters' Women's Rugby
team. "We will certainly all be rooting for her tomorrow as she takes on
the USA in her first of many international appearances."

– Jacquie Laidler, a first-year centre with the Bishop's Gaiters Women's
Rugby team, has been named to the national women's Under-20 team, as
announced by Rugby Canada yesterday. The Anmore, B.C. native was the only player based in
the Quebec University Rugby Union to be named to squad. Overall, 14
of the team's 22 members are based at CIS schools. Laidler has previously
played representative rugby with the British Columbia provincial team at
both the U-17 and U-20 levels, winning two silver and one gold medal. Laidler, who moved from prop to centre midway through
the season, was instrumental in nearly every try the Gaiters scored this
year, and finished fourth on the team with two tries of her own. She was
the Gaiters' Player of the Game in four of the Gaiters' six
regular-season games this year.

Link to Stanstead College Release Eryn Hessian LENNOXVILLE

team, will carry the Olympic Torch tomorrow as it passes through eastern
Quebec. Hessian is scheduled to carry the torch for

a question a day on the relay website every day for three months with
her Grade 7 students last year. This allowed her 93 entries in a random
draw and was selected to write an essay on "living Olympic," in which
she discussed such virtues as volunteerism, healthy lifestyles and
mentorship.

A boisterous crowd of 50 braved the chilly night air to cheer the Gaiters on to their first regular-season victory in more three years. The Gaiters were dominant in the first half, as they kept ball possession through multiple phases, and kept the play in the Sherbrooke end of the field for almost the entire 40 minutes, running up a 32-0 halftime lead. Also scoring tries for the Gaiters were Katie Allen, Frances Bajdik-Bova, Ashley Grant, Melanie Black, Meredith Evans and Allix Laffoley-Cartier. In the second half, Sherbrooke's Isabelle Boucher threatened to break the shutout, as she had a pair of long runs, however try-saving tackles by LeeAnna Coates and Jacquie Laidler kept the clean sheet in tact. Laidler's strong defensive play kept the Vert et Or out of the end zone, and her leadership in the back line drove several Gaiter possessions.Women's Rugby dumps Sherbrooke 42-0, ends 17-game winless streak October 8, 2009
