Sarah sent this to me! Thanks!


Truman State

In true rugby fashion, the tournament in St. Louis was changed last minute forcing the Bullets into three matches on Saturday two of which were against club teams. The first game was against the St. Louis Sabres. Ultimately the Sabres ended up winning the tournament but the Bullets were able to score on them. Their teamwork and basic skills dominated most of the game. One try was scored (the final try for either team) by the Bullets off of a quick-tap penalty pass from Michaella Levy by Natalie Gerhart. The final was 5-67.

A very short time later, the Bullets played a new club team also from St. Louis called the Bombers. They were able to use their forwards well and suck our backs into rucks ultimately resulting in several trys. By the end the Bullets were simply too exhausted and dehydrated to chase them anymore. The final score was 0-77.

The final game of the tournament was a rematch against WashU. The Bullets went out completely ready to beat WashU and ready to use what they had learned in the first two games. By working as a team and communicating the Bullets were able to overcome a much weaker WashU defense and ultimately score 6 trys. Scorers were Natalie Gerhart (and 1 kick), Alison Hays, Chelsea Klaus (2), Michaella Levy, and Jamie Mucho. After losing to WashU earlier this season the Bullets managed to shut out WashU at this meeting 32-0.
