The St. Thomas University women's rugby team had another strong season in the Atlantic Collegiate Athletic Association.

After falling short against UNB in the ACAA final, the Tommies took home a silver medal for the third year in a row.

Four members of the team were recognized by the ACAA for their standout performances with all-conference honours, and head coach Meghan Morrison was named ACAA Coach of the Year.

This year's Tommies were young—23 of their 25 players will be returning next season—and moving forward they will provide the foundation of the STU squad. Jessica Sauter, this season's ACAA Rookie of the Year will be a player to watch in the coming years, along with returning all-stars Meghan Pollard, Olivia Ricketts, and Abbie LeBlanc.
