A couple of familiar faces will be leading the University of Lethbridge women's rugby team this year.

A couple of familiar faces will be leading the University of Lethbridge women's rugby team this year. Former head coach and program architect, Neil Langevin, will return to take the reins once again following the sudden passing of Ric Suggitt last month.  Ashley Steacy, the most decorated Pronghorn women's rugby player, will be his associate head coach. Steacy, an Olympic bronze medalist, just retired from international competition. Executive Director Ken McInnes says "having Neil and Ashley step up and take on the coaching duties heading into the 2017/18 campaign is the best possible outcome we could have hoped for with the passing of Coach Suggitt." -Tina Giesbrecht
