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
