LORDS WIN FOURTH STRAIGHT OCAA WOMEN'S RUGBY SEVENS TITLE

CAMBRIDGE, Ont. - The Durham Lords defeated the Humber Hawks 34-0 in the gold medal match of the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) Women's Rugby Sevens Championship on Saturday.

For the Lords, it marks an unprecedented fourth straight OCAA title, and an undefeated 17-0 record for the 2025 season. Durham did not allow a point in three matches at the championship, outscoring their opponents 108-0.

Championship MVP and OCAA Player of the Year Amber Edgerton (Uxbridge) scored the opening three tries in the gold medal match, and six in total at the championship.

OCAA Rookie of the Year Sarah Clayton (Whitby) and fourth-year back Daniella Kimevski (Pickering) of the Lords were named Championship All-Stars. Clayton scored three tries in Durham's 52-0 semifinal victory over the Seneca Sting, while Kimevski scored a try in both the semifinal and final.

Humber's silver medal marks the program's best finish since winning the championship in 2021. The Hawks were the bronze medalists last season. Humber third-year wings Meghan Aucoin (Port Perry) and Isabella Mcphee (Brampton) were named Championship All-Stars for their efforts. Both scored tries in Humber's key 24-19 win over the Conestoga Condors in the semifinals.

Conestoga defeated Seneca 24-14 in the bronze medal game. With the win, the Condors won their first OCAA medal since winning silver in 2016. Conestoga's Abbey Anderson (Waterford) and Seneca's Angelina Jahshan (Newmarket) were named OCAA Championship All-Stars.
