Laval advances to Vanier Cup after defeating Calgary in Mitchell Bowl
CALGARY — Laval quarterback Hugo Richard didn’t think it was his team’s best outing. But, as usual, the Rouge et Or did enough to win.
Laval outscored the Calgary Dinos 25-6 in the second half en route to a 35-23 victory Saturday to capture the Mitchell Bowl and advance to the U Sports national championship.
“The game was close, a bit closer than it should have been,” said Richard. “We really didn’t play a good game. We made way too many mistakes on offence … some turnovers.
“We find a way, we find a way,” the game’s most valuable player added. “It’s character.”
