History
editAt the 2019 U Sports Women's Basketball Championship, the Rouge et Or were the #1 seeded team.[1] Heading into Nationals, the Rouge et Or sported a 17-1 won-loss record. The only loss took place versus the McGill Martlets in the final game of the season. The scoring leader during the 2018-19 season was Jane Gagne, averaging 15.4 points per game.
During August 2020, Claudia Émond was one of 18 former U Sports student-athletes announced among the inaugural participants of the U SPORTS Female Apprenticeship Coach Program.[2] Funded through Sport Canada, the objective was to increase the number of females in coaching positions across Canadian universities, matching apprentice coaches who have recently graduated with a mentor coach.
