On the official Brock Badgers website, head coach Peter Hughes described what the accomplishment means for the University’s rugby program, “This was an amazing accomplishment for our girl’s as well as our program as a whole. We will continue to work hard in the spring and summer months in preparation for the 2012 OUA regular season in September.”

In the six game tournament, the Badgers went a perfect 6-0, including a 19-7 win over Stanford University in the gold medal final.
