Western Head Coach Natascha Wesch said she was excited to have the opportunity to sign Smith and her fellow classmates. “To be able to have these five athletes choose Western and commit to the rugby program is of great importance to our Mustang family,” she said in a press release from Western University.”We have a strong foundation to work with in our veteran group and to provide such important depth to our roster with these outstanding recruits bodes well for the future of our program.” Smith said, in the same release, that she was excited about the opportunity this represented. “I knew it was the right fit because of the intensity and dynamics of the program along with the inclusiveness and attitude of the team,” she said, having visited the school. “The atmosphere on and off the field was amazing and whenever I come to campus I always feel safe and like I am at home. With that being said, I cannot wait to begin my future career as a Western Mustang athlete and student.” PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE SAFETY DAY® Tuesday, July 7th, 2015 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Stanley Community Complex, Varna, ON A fun-filled day of learning for children ages 7-12.

After three scoreless innings, the Stingers put four runs across the plate in the top of the fourth inning, but the Tigers responded with three of their own in the bottom half of the inning, thanks in part to a two-run home run by Steve Scholl. Shawn Daw started on the mound for the Tigers and managed three strike outs in four innings of work. Ty Sebastian took over for the final three innings and faced nine batters, striking out all nine. Kris Wright went the distance on the mound for the Stingers and recorded three strike outs. Sebastian had a triple and single at the plate and Adam Corbett contributed a triple. Shawn Daw rapped out a pair of singles. Daw said it was a good game for the Tigers. “We battled back and we were hitting the ball well,” he said. “It was a good game all around.” The Tigers were in Sebringville on June 25 and then travel to Fullarton on Sunday for a 7 p.m. contest against the A’s.
