Disappointing season for Womens' Rugby
Last weekend, AU's Women's Rugby team finished its fall season with a 15-0 loss to University of Maryland, College Park.
Saturday's game was the end of a long 1-5-2 season for the Eagles, leaving them with nothing to look forward to but the spring season.
The ladies' last chance to clinch a postseason berth was shot down after a bone-crushing loss to the U.S. Naval Academy on Sunday, Nov. 2, as they fell, 76-0.
The Eagles' play against the Terrapins showed improvement from the beginning of the year, and the ladies are looking forward to more competition coming in the spring.
The Women's Rugby team plans to be active on campus during the next few months raising money, so look for them selling donuts and washing cars.
