| Box Score 3 SHERBROOKE, Que. – The Bishop's Gaiters men's rugby team moved into a tie for first place in the RSEQ University conference after a 27-14 victory over the Concordia Stingers on Friday night in Lennoxvlle.

The Bishop's men's rugby team hosted the first-place Concordia Stingers on Friday night.  After a quiet start the Gaiters were able to get on the scoreboard first thanks to a Nicolas Charlton (Montreal, Que.) penalty kick.  Charlton finished the night with two successful penalties on two attempts and was a perfect 3-for-3 on conversions. Bishop's grabbed a 13-7 halftime lead. They extended it to 27-7 before weathering a Concordia storm and earning a 27-14 victory. Max Grouette (Surrey, B.C.), Lee Hudson (Sutton, Que.) and Max Ferland (St. Lambert, Que.) scored tries for the purple who improve their record to 4-1-1 (21 points) while Concordia falls to 4-2-1 (21 points).
