Yesterday- the varsity girls rugby team played in their semi final game - and after being down 12-0 in the first half- the girls dug deep and battled back to defeat  the BCI Mustangs 24-17! The mustangs have not lost a playoff game in 14 years- but this year - they were knocked off the podium by our own Titans girls rugby team!
