She made three saves to help the Stingers post the shutout. Dagenais also plays on the women’s rugby team at Concordia.

Fortin, a second-year fly half, was named the game MVP in the Stingers’ 23-17 victory over the Sherbrooke Vert & Or on Saturday. He controlled much of the game. He was instrumental in putting enormous pressure on the Sherbrooke backs and he made a number of key tackles. The win ups the Stingers’ win-loss record to 4-1 and keeps them in the race for first place in the RSEQ.
