LENNOXVILLE, Que. – Tyler Murphy (Bromont, Que./Massey Vanier H.S.) led the Gaiters with 10 points but it was not enough to give Bishop's the RSEQ men's rugby title as they fell 22-20 to the Concordia Stingers on a windy day in Montreal.  

How it Happened
 
The Gaiters open the scoring in the 30^th minute, as Robert McGovern (Brigham, Que./Champlain College Lennoxville) found the end zone after a missed penalty kick into the wind by Murphy.
