Rugby
The Women’s Rugby team is 2-0 after beating Mary Washington College last weekend 10-5. Mary Washington struck first in the A-side game, but junior flanker Mimi Bienia scored a try to tie it at five apiece. Senior second row Rachel Friede scored the game-winning try making it 10-5.
Freshman rookies Ellain Gelman, Sarah Henderson and senior Gerty Heath all scored in the B-side team’s 20-0 win in an excellent showing by many of the younger and newer players.
The previous weekend, the women tied long-time rival American University 3-3 Saturday. All points were scored on kicks, as no tries were scored. Senior Megan Billingsley scored first for GW, but American scored as time ran down. For more information, contact Emily Knupp at [email protected].
