Shelby Stevenson (South Dennis, Mass.) and Reagan Cerci (Easton, Mass.) scored three tries each to pace the Gulls offensively, while Sophia Hatzis (West Roxbury, Mass.) tallied two tries in her first appearance of the season since suffering an injury last fall.

"We played pretty well considering it was our first time back since competing in the NSCRO Northeast Regionals last fall," said Endicott club women's rugby head coach Emily Record. "As the day went on we started seeing space more and supporting each other on breaks. Shelby and Reagan were great on offense, while Samantha Hontas had some great try saving tackles defensively. Jordan also was a force to be reckoned with in the rucks." 

WHAT'S NEXT 

Endicott returns to action on Sunday, April 2 at the AIC Invitational (7's) against Army and Norwich (B) at 11 AM and 12:20 PM, respectively.
