Head coach Alex Penz’s dream turned into the reality of a fourth-place finish by the Niagara Badger Football Club at the recent Ontario Women’s Intercollegiate Football Association’s provincial flag football tournament at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton.

Niagara advanced to the semifinals by defeating Waterloo Gold 42-6, Laurier 12-0, York 14-6 and Ottawa 13-6. The Badger club then fell 18-6 to the University of Toronto in the semifinals and 7-6 to Western in the bronze medal game.

“When I started this in November, I never expected to become the third best university in the province overnight, and it’s all thanks to the hard work of the players, coaches, and execs,” Penz said. “We now have our goal set on being the No. 1 program in the province next year with 13 to 15 players returning.”
