The young women voluntarily benched themselves for the second half so that the game could continue. Personally, I think they should have forfeited the game if they didn't want to play against women. Better yet, they should disband the team, since the rule in Western Ontario is that if there is no women's team available, the men's team must allow women to play after a successful tryout.
