The Abbotsford Panthers senior girls rugby team proved they were the best in the province on Saturday.
Abbotsford dominated Lake City for most of the game, en route to a 41-10 win in the AA provincial final at Rotary Stadium.
The Panthers led 31-5 at the half to cruise to the win.
Saturday wrapped up a dominant performance at the event for the team, as they opened with a 94-5 win over Houston on Thursday, and then beat cross-town rival Robert Bateman Secondary 59-28 on Friday. Bateman placed third at the event.

Abbotsford rugby talent was also on display in the AAA final, but the Yale Lions fell 19-17 to Carson Graham.
The defensive battle was locked at five apiece at halftime, and the teams traded tries early in the second half. Carson Graham took the 19-12 lead late in the game, and the Lions scored a try on their final possession, only to miss the convert kick.
