- Illinois Women’s Rugby Spring Break Tour ’08
Found the Illinois Women’s Rugby Blog this morning and was excited to hear that they went on a Spring Break tour as well. Post the updates and I will post them here as well!
- Women’s rugby (West Chester) down the Tar Heels (North Carolina)
Part two of the 07-08 women’s rugby campaign started off right where the girls left off in the fall, with a win in front of their home crowd Saturday afternoon over North Carolina University. Although the Tar Heels only ended up a try and conversion away in the 24-17 contest, the Rams took their victory in dominating fashion.
West Chester jumped out to an early lead in the competition with a score from Beverly Schmitz, but the conversion by Whitney Hartshore was unsuccessful, making the score 5-0. The Tar Heels came back later with a try and missed conversion, tying the score up at five.
West Chester broke the tie late in the first half with two crucial trys. The first came from Junior Erin Furlong, which was her first career try. Click here for the rest of the article.
- Lady Ruggers to spend break in U.K. (Penn State)
Lady Rugger Amanda Mesa will be traveling to a place she’s never been during spring break — Europe.
For the annual Penn State women’s rugby trip, Mesa and her teammates will travel to England to play five matches and have a different rugby experience from anything they would have in the United States.
“We will be getting immersed in the rugby culture over there,” said Mesa, a freshman.
“It will definitely help give us an edge.”
Penn State will play five matches against English universities and club teams.
Coach Peter Steinberg said the trip will provide his team with a great team-building experience.
“Some of the best memories of the players’ careers are made on the spring break trip,” Steinberg said. Click here for the rest of the article.

Wendy,
In preparation for their trip to Argentina, University of Colorado played a game on Saturday against Glendale Women (final score 65-3, but a good game to watch, as CU played fantastic defense for the first 60 minutes, then subbed in players to get their bench some practice – should be available on the glendale.com website under Fan Zone) and then played Black Ice on Sunday (CU lost, but it was close – I don’t know the final score, but CU was within 2 tries). Good luck to them in Argentina.
