While that school to the south beat the Wolverines in the fall, essentially knocking them out of national playoff contention, the Women’s Rugby team claimed victory over OSU today 17-7. After working hard all winter and finally having a season under their belts, the fall rookies earned their veteran-hood in the back line with some great cut back running and passing to score. Congratulations to prop Jessie Hieber on her first start back from a serious injury as well as to rookie Sarah Yaqub for her first start of her rugby career. While OSU’s scrum gave UM forwards some trouble, the forwards earned it back in the rucks and lineouts. Thanks to all the alumnae that came to help out the rookies in the B-side match, they looked great out there under your leadership. Shout out thank you to Tony Menhart for providing delicious homemade bread and Italian bean stew for the social after the game! Michigan Rugby appreciates all your support! We are excited for our spring break trip to the east coast next week to play U of Maryland, Georgetown and in the UVWIT. Check our facebook and twitter pages for fun updates and pictures!
