Football Stingers bow to Rouge et Or

The football season is over at Concordia, thanks to Laval. The Rouge et Or defeated the Stingers on Nov. 10 by a score of 35-10 in the Quebec conference final, winning the Dunsmore Cup and extending Laval’s winning streak to 14 games.

Rookie quarterback Liam Mahoney was frustrated by a fourth-quarter fumble that led to a one-yard touchdown by the Laval quarterback that clinched the Laval victory. It came at the end of a five-play, 75-yard drive. Mahoney, who carried 12 times for 94 yards, was intercepted twice in the game.

Laval was defeated by the St. Mary’s Huskies on Nov. 17. The St. Mary’s Huskies will face the Manitoba Bisons in the Vanier Cup on Friday, Nov. 23, at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The national championship game will be televised.
