The third-leading scorer in RSEQ women’s rugby, second-year Raven Vanessa Chiapetta (Rigaud, Que.) has been named RSEQ Athlete of the Month.
Chiappetta played a vital role in the Ravens’ six-game unbeaten streak. After being named Athlete of the Week September 27 Chiappetta continued her hot play throughout October. The Rigaud native had 1 try and game MVP on October 3 against Bishop’s before adding 11 points – 1 try and 3 conversions – and game MVP in the Ravens’ Oct. 16 victory over Bishop’s. In the Ravens’ second semi-final in program history, Chiappetta kept the Ravens’ 15 game point streak alive by scoring 3 points on a penalty while being named game MVP versus Laval.
