CUWRFC gives a big cheer before a match during the Ivy League Tournament, Spring 2008.
I’m presenting TWO photos of the week this week, which are for Courtney and Alyssa – our fantastic lock and inside center who are currently recovering from or about to go through ACL surgery!!! We wish them full recovery and to get well soon, of course! Thanks Beth for the photos.

That’s right, I’m going to start doing a CUWRFC “Photo of the Week” during all my useless summertime.
Above, our great fullback Nicole Humphrey taking out a GWU player with a serious tackle, Spring 2009. You go girl.
This post is really late, but thanks to all the alumni who came out to Randall’s Island for a friendly 7’s match during the NY Women’s Friends and Family Day! It started a little cold and drizzly but turned out to be a beautiful and sunny day, great weather for rugby-watching!
Unfortunately there are no photos of the actual game, but check out our photos page to see some alumni and current CUWRFC women having fun and watching rugby! Thanks to Becca for all the photos!
The score? CUWRFC 0 – Alumni too many
Another win for CUWRFC as we close our Spring Season!

CUWRFC 17 – Hofstra 10
CUWRFC played our first game of the Spring season this past Saturday, March 7th, with victorious results! Match commentary below paraphrased from coach Beth:
We spent a good 90% of the match in Hofstra’s 22 but failed to dot the ball down (A record 4 or 5 of which were held up…poor poor Nasty G. In my heart, you scored.), and we were ALL (including coaches) a little nervous throughout. So we will just need to shake off those opening game jitters and focus on the basic points of how to handle those situations, as well as getting the rookies a better idea of the field/their role and getting the vets a better idea of how to shift from defense to offense with authority. We will work on everyone’s communication. Tonight was a good starting point for us to build on for the rest of the season that will give us all sorts of skills and drive for the Ivies and the fall season.
Thank you to the rookies who participated in their first game: Courtney, Jewcy (Sophia), Danielle, Liz 2, Sheps, Cindy Lu, and Mari! Well played. Best get well wishes to Miss Poon the Bionic Alpha Asian (eye stitches), Jewcy the rookie (fractured wrist), and Mari (ankle).
Tries: Alyssa, Juliette, and Remi
Conversions: Liz Logan (1)
Players of the Match:
Forwards - Miss Leda Kimchi Mama
Backs – Erin Glennon aka Nasty G.
woMan O’ the Match - Deputy Pickle aka Jeanette
