QUEBEC CITY (U SPORTS) The Calgary Dinos are U SPORTS champions for the fifth time in program history, after defeating the Montreal Carabins 27-13 in the 55th Vanier Cup presented by Promutuel Insurance, in front of 8,376 spectators on Saturday afternoon at TELUS-Université Laval Stadium in Quebec City.

 

 

The fourth time was the charm for the Dinos, who lost on their three previous trips to the national final in Quebec City. This is the first title for Calgary since 1995, moving them to third place on the all-time list of winningest programs in Canadian university football history.
