Dartmouth women in first home match win 55-0 against Cornell

Soggy weather did not dampen the spirit of players and fans as Dartmouth Women (2-1) took on Cornell (2-2) in the Big Green’s first home league match of the fall.

The deteriorating weather conditions made for a slippery rugby ball, and backs from both sides struggled with handling. The Dartmouth forwards kept the team moving down Brophy Field with tough running and great ball protection in the rucks.

1st XV Yale Women at Penn Women

After a tough loss to rival Princeton last weekend, Penn bounced back to defeat the visiting Yale Bulldogs 64-0.

Both teams seemed to come out with a lot of nerves, and as a result the first few minutes saw a lot of handling mishaps. Penn settled down after their first try, and never looked back.
