4/7/08 - Match vs. Salisbury
This weekend was the first annual Family Day. Coach Pruett presented a "Rugby 101" seminar to friends and family members of our players, and the match vs. Salisbury was played in three 30-minute periods. The first two (which were officially considered the game) yielded a 15-10 loss, while the final period was a "B-side" win on our behalf.
This upcoming weekend the women will be playing in a tournament at Franklin & Marshall College, followed by our Spring Fling match vs. Towson on April 19th.
