The University of Calgary Dinos had an early lead, but ended up losing against the Laval Rouge et Or in the 2016 Vanier Cup final.
Laval’s Hugo Richard ran in the winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter as the No. 1-ranked Rouge et Or defeated the Dinos 31-26 on Saturday.
Dinos quarterback Adam Sinagra came in to play after Jimmy Underdahl was hurt in the first quarter. Sinagra completed 21 of 38 passes for 276 yards in the game.
But it wasn’t enough.
The end result was the same as 2013, when Laval beat the U of C for the Canadian university football title with a score of 25-14.
This is the ninth Vanier Cup Laval has won since 1965, when the first cup was awarded.
The Dinos are now 0-5 against Laval, and haven’t won the Vanier cup since 1995.
