Women's Rugby News & NotesWomen's Rugby Drops 25-17 Match to ArmyWEST POINT, NY (October 4, 2008) -- After winning its first four games, the Vassar women's rugby team picked up its first loss against Army, 25-17, on Saturday. The Brewers jumped out to a 5-0 lead and then led 12-5 but just made too many errors to stay atop their old rivals at West Point. It was a disappointing day for Vassar as once again they failed to get their attack pattern going and it cost them dear. The only consolations are that this game does not count in the divisional standings and they will most probably meet Army again in the playoffs.

Women’s Rugby Scores Nine Tries In First Game of SeasonPROVIDENCE, RI (September 7, 2008) -- The Vassar College women arrived a little later than they had planned and thus had to rush onto the field after a truncated warm-up, for their opening game of the 2008-09 season. Maybe they should always adopt this approach for they quickly got to work and brushed aside the challenge from fellow New England Division I rivals Providence College in a 49-0 victory.

Women's Rugby Closes Out Season In StylePOUGHKEEPSIE, NY (April 27, 2008) -- The University of New Brunswick from Canada visited the Vassar Farm on this beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon for the 2007-08 season finale. New Brunswick had played yesterday against Yale University and won that game 19-12, so the Brewers were under no illusions as to the task at hand. Injured and unable to play was Vassar's number 8 Dani Goodman-Levy, scorer of 4 tries the weekend before against Cal-Berkeley, but as has so often been the case this season everyone raised their game and put in a gutsy performance.

Vassar recorded an emphatic win and made it unequivocally clear that they are a top 10 collegiate Division I program in the U.S. this year. They scored 10 tries en route to a thumping 58-12 victory.
