The women's division one team continued their strong season with a dominating 51-12 win over Meraloma on Saturday at Rotary Stadium to also advance to provincials. They now take on United for the provincial crown on Saturday in West Vancouver. The two teams met back on Jan. 23, with United posting a 25-10 win.

The club was up 19-10 at halftime, and tries by Josh Thiel and Jake Thiel in the second half put the team up 31-10. Kurtis Appeldoorn and Thiel also added tries late in the second half to secure the win.
