This past weekend, the Dartmouth Women's Rugby Club started out with a 33-5 loss to Vassar but showed tremendous resilience by bouncing back to defeat Amherst 29-0 and earn a berth to the National Tournament in the spring. The Vassar game started out on a good note for Dartmouth, as second-row Amanda Behm '04 came out firing and nearly ran through the ball carrier on the first tackle of the game. Energized, the DWRC drove down the field to the Vassar try-line but couldn't capitalize.
This past Sunday, the Dartmouth Women's Rugby Club survived a particularly rough game to take down Boston University by a score of 50-0 and end the league season undefeated. Scoring started early for the Big Green as dominant play in the forwards helped open up the spread game.
