Sunday marked a historical event for women’s lacrosse as it was the first time the
OLA offered a Provincial Championship for a women’s adult program. While the Whitby RUSH did not achieve their goal of winning the inaugural cup it has put that much more of a burn in RUSH bellies to ensure the cup comes home next season.
The RUSH had a great mix of talent and age, our roster of 19 players ranged in age from almost 50 to 19 and players who’ve played their whole life to just picking up a stick a few years ago. Every player was pumped to have the opportunity to develop under Paul’s leadership and develop we did! We knocked Grand River from their undefeated season winning 4-1 to get to the gold cup game. Every player stepped up to the challenge Sunday and we have some great highlight reels stamped in our memories. Our championship game against Grand River was very competitive, we had lots of scoring opportunities but the post shut us down! We have every confidence that next season Paul will coach us to victory.
Thanks for a fantastic season…you made Durham proud!!
All the RUSH players would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to our coach Paul Stewart.
