Cornell Pregame

Columbia Women look for a win this week as they travel to the campus of Cornell University for a Tier 2 matchup at the Big Red's home pitch on Pine Tree Road. Columbia had a tough go against Dartmouth last weekend, while Cornell is flying high after two straight wins.

This year Cornell will be on their home turf, and they are excited to play some quality rugby against Columbia's ruggers. If their past matches against one another say anything, this game will be a great game of rugby. Cornell hopes to get as many fans out as possible to watch our two teams play. Cornell will work hard to keep up the same enthusiasm and dedication to the game we've had all season and we are excited to play Columbia this Saturday.

CWRFC has kicked their season to a fantastic start! They are under new leadership of Coach Cookie, who has brought great vibes and really challenged the concept of the game of rugby. In implementing everything Cookie has taught them so far, Cornell has won their first two games of the season! They hope to keep up the great streak, continue putting everything their coach teaches them into play, and look forward to a great match against Columbia!
