Stingers win battle of Montreal

"It was hugely disappointing, I don't know what else to tell you. We deserved to lose. It was a disappointment from the opening whistle to the last whistle." Not what you'd expect to hear from the coach of a women's rugby team who just upped their record to 2-1.

Long after the final whistle had blown members of the Concordia men's hockey team were still lingering around an empty Ed Meagher Arena, both relishing in the season that had been and at the same time agonizing over the loss that had put an end to their hopes for something more.

Why does the man insist upon keeping Concordia down? For weeks now, we have been talking about how Concordia's sporting reputation is quickly on the rise. There is a buzz around the Loyola campus, and by extension most of the N.D.G. area. People are seeing that this school is providing its students with top quality athletics, as well as top quality education.

Assistant Coach Ernie Rosa made it clear that trying out for the Concordia Stingers men's basketball team is not as easy as one thinks. Not long after his year's tryout for the maroon and gold was underway some players left the Loyola gym in silence, with their heads down.
