The second game of the season scheduled for April 4 was cancelled due to poor field conditions. The ladies would like to apologize if this change inconveniences anyone's plans.
The first game of the season kicked off March 28th against University of Rhode Island. The ladies of Boston College arrived at the field early in the morning ready to play. The girls had been working extremely hard over the last two months on conditioning and game tactics. It was time to get outside and play some rugby after being inside due to the frigid Boston winter. Although, the ladies ran the ball well and played as a team, Saturday was not their day. Erika Hernandez once again displayed her talented kicking skills by earning three points in a penalty kick. The rookies played a spirited B-side game. Their tackles were impressive and they displayed no fear when running the ball. The B-side game ended in a tie.
