NDSS’ varsity girls rugby has a direct path to the KSSAA semifinals following their perfect 6-0 regular season.
Napanee put a bow on their dominant run with a 58-0 win over the visiting Holy Cross Crusaders on Tuesday.
The Hawks were able to get several of their juniors into the game and didn’t miss a beat, showcasing the depth of their program. Carley Uens (two), Ryan DuChene (two), Addy Holden (two), Devan Maxwell (three) accounted for the tries with conversions kicked by Brooke Alaver, Neeleigh Ford and Devan Maxwell.

The winner of that match advances to the league finals on May 22 which will be held at Queen’s Nixon Field in Kingston.
