"The team had its ups and downs this weekend, and rallied to put forth a strong effort at the end of the day," said Endicott club women's rugby head coach Emily Record. "Defensively, the players did a great job supporting each other, and working hard to prevent the other team from scoring. Offensively, we need to continue to work to make sure we can finish any opportunity we have. It was a good weekend to get a lot of people time against good teams and prepare us for nationals next weekend."
