A New Season

So, we kind have been ignoring this, but since its a new season, we decided to start back up.

This year, we have so many new rookies. We are thrilled that so many people are interested in the team. This means that we have enough girls to have an A-side and a B-side team.

Last Sunday was our first game against WVU. They had a great team and really pushed us. While we didn't win, the team worked really well together. During the B-side game, all the rookies were able to play. We think that this was a great chance for them to understand the game.

Our next game is this Saturday against CalU. We hope that we will be able to pull the team together and show off some of our new plays.

Hail To The Warriors!

This past Saturday was our last game of the season against Gettysburg. We play a great game in the scorching heat. Congratulations to Monster, Stump, and Squid for their Zulus!! Anna scored as well. We had a great season. We will sincerely miss this semester's seniors, Anna and Kelly. Great jobs girls and best of luck after graduation.

This past Wednesday, the team went to the spillway for some rugby fun. The water was at flood level according to a random fisherman. However, we have three new rookies with nicknames.

Krista "Schnitzel" Leibensperger
Kat "Squid" Connolly

Corryn "Gnome" Kosik

Also, Pigroast is this Saturday. We have a game against the alumnae, which should be very enjoyable.

WE WON!!

So, I can't believe that we are only just posting this now because we have such exciting news. This past Saturday, we won our game against Geneva with a score of 10-5. Congratulations to both Anna and Animal for scoring our tries. Everyone played really hard, and the team did really well in general. Hopefully, we can continue this and win our next game against Gettysburg next Saturday.

Also, on Wednesday, our package from the National Guard came in. This is really exciting because we got so many needed supplies. We got new balls, rugby shorts, new jerseys, mouth guards, goal post protectors, and socks.

And, more good news, Kelly, Giggles, Animal, and Iron all made it onto the select sides team. The will be playing a game in Michigan. Good Job Girls!

The Pittsburgh Rugby Classic

This past Saturday was the Pittsburgh Rugby Classic.

We played three games against Cornell, ESU, and IUP. Even though we did win, it was an excellent learning experience. Also, Iron zulued. Congratulations!!

We also watched all of the Rat's games. They played in the championships and placed second overall. They did a great job.

Great Job everyone!

Our First Spring Game!

This past Saturday was our first game of the Spring Season. We played at Grove City. This was our very first night game in a real stadium. It was really exciting.

Despite the fact that we did not win, we still learned so much. This season we have so many rookies. This game was many of the girls very first games to even watch, let alone play in. Also, we were missing many players and even had to borrow a few from Grove City.

We can only get better and we are all excited to play in the Pittsburgh Rugby Classic which is this Saturday.
