2017 Mystic Collegiate Tour to Montreal
For the fifth year in a row, the Mystic Collegiate Select XV will be traveling to Montreal, Quebec on Friday, June 16th to take on the Lower Canada Voyageurs!Mystic Collegiate Selects Fall Short in Montreal
MONTREAL, QC – The Mystic Collegiate Selects came out firing in the first half, and used the width of the field to move the ball and keep the Voyageurs defense off balance. Mystics put two tries on the board early on. The first try came off a nice break on the sideline by Dave Caputo, and Dylan Amore converted to give the Mystics a 7-0 lead. The Mystics followed that up with a weak side pick from scrumhalf Mike Weinstein, giving them a 12-0 lead.
