Five outstanding student-athletes of the 2023-24 X-Women Rugby team received the nod this past academic term as winners of X-Women Rugby Leadership Awards.
STFX lock Akwaima Akpan was named the 2023 AUS Rookie of the Year, while centre Katherine Culligan received the AUS Community Service award. Five X-Women were named to the AUS all-star team including Emma MacDougall, Akwaima Akpan, Sophie Beck, Skye Koyote and Katie Murphy.
The X-Women Rugby team competed in the pre-season AUS tournament at Acadia on Sunday and came home with three victories.
For two decades, as much as the leaves changing colours on the trees lining the STFX campus, a sure sign that fall was arriving came courtesy of the X-Women rugby program. In late October or early November – without fail – the White and Blue would be boarding a plane for a Canadian destination, where they would play for a USPORTS Women’s Rugby Championship.
The STFX X-Women Rugby team headed south of the border this past weekend and played four pre-season exhibition matches against NCAA opponents. The blue and white posted a 3-0-1 record.
