The DAL AC Rams captured the ACAA Rugby Championship on Sunday Nov 3.  The Rams finished first in league play and met MTA in the League Final. Jessica Stickney starting the scoring for the Rams  and added a second try in the second half to seal the win.  Stephanie Wilson also had two trys while Emma Burry chipped in, scoring a convert on Stickney’s last try. MTA battled back in the second half and in the last 15 minutes of the match threatened to send the match into overtime. However the Rams defense was tremendous in stopping the Mounties on the goal line several times to  save the win.
