The Pitt. Tournament.

This past Saturday was the Pitt. Tournament. We brought a mini-bus full of girls to my house on Friday, so the majority of the team wouldn't have to get up and leave super early on Saturday. However, some girls did have to leave early on Saturday. And these girls ended up driving to Ohio. But when we all found each other again, things went decently well.

Our first game was against Lock Haven. Unfortunately, we lost. However, Boot and I both scored. I think that the score was somewhere around 37-10. So, even though it was a lose, we put up a good fight. We play Lock Haven again on April 10th.

Our second game was against IUP's B-side. And, we WON!! I'm not sure of the exact score, but I know that Boot, Boz, and Iron scored (I might be missing other people. Its really hard to keep track of all this stuff). The wing line is really starting to click together and we ran a few really successful plays--some which we learned from the rats and some that we developed ourselves.

Our last game, against ONU, was extremely difficult. I have never seen so many scrum downs in such a short period. Our scrum was doing awesome. But, ONU had trouble with knockons and such, so we had to continuously scrum. We lost this game as well.

All in all, we came in 6th out of 8 teams. I think that this is a great accomplishment considering how many rookies we have on the team. We can't wait for our next game, and PIGROAST!

Game Cancelled

We finally heard back from Highland Rugby, which is who we were supposed to play this coming Saturday. But since the team is still new, they were having a hard time getting enough players to come to the game, so they had to cancel.

However, on a happy note, we were cleared to begin practices outside on North Lawn. This is really exciting because now we can practice almost everyday and we can start doing drills that are more game situational.

Also, we have the Pitt Tournament coming up, next Saturday. According to the 10 Day forecast, there should be a high of around 49 degrees. Let's hope that the weather gets just a little bit nicer, so we don't freeze like last year.

Some Almost Spring Updates

The snow has finally melted at Juniata!! This means that we can hopefully start having practice outside as soon as the school says that the fields are dry enough. Practicing inside has been fun but we all can't wait to get outside and start tackling as soon as possible!



We have a game scheduled for this weekend. We really hope that the fields dry out so that we can play.

Also, we are preparing for the Pitt Tournament, which is on the 27th. We hope that the weather will stay nice for that. Last year, it was pretty cold.
