This past Saturday, we travelled to Towson University for our first game of the spring season and came home with the win! Ruggers (pictured below) Micaela Ada, Shay Hall, Mackenzie Davis, and Natalie Lambert all scored tries today, leading the team to our first victory of the season! 

We couldn't leave without snapping a pic with the Towson team! Thank you, Towson Women's Rugby, for a great game and the hospitality!

It was a great start to the season, and we are pumped to travel to Pennsylvania for the Frostbite 7's tournament next week! Wish us luck!

After a great Kick-off BBQ friday night, UMDWRFC came through with a BIG victory versus one of our conference rivals, UMBC. The score was tied 15-15 at the half, but UMD came through with a final score of 42-15! Helping our team start off 1-0 was Nat (2), Nettie, Nika, Mackenzie, Kimberly, Micaela and Paige; who all had tries on the day. Check out some of the photos in our new photo tab!

Some of our rookies played either their first ever game as a Terp, or ever. Congratulations to Casey, Arden, Nicole and Kelly! We are lucky to have each of you on our side!

We can't wait to take on John Hopkins University this weekend, 9/29 at 10:30 am for our home opener!
Hope to see you all there!

After a successful Blaze fundraiser last week, we had our ruggers represent the team at our table at the First Look Fair yesterday, where we reached out to potential new players. Our team is looking for new members, no experience necessary! A significant portion of our current roster never touched a rugby ball before college, and now they starting players and leaders on the team. There's always time to come check out one of our practices, watch a game or send us a message for more information.

Tonight is our team's first "Team Night". The exec board is proud to present our new tradition of holding a Kick-off BBQ before the first match of the Fall season. We hope to see everyone there to bond and get a filling meal before our match versus UMBC tomorrow at 10:30.

UMDWRFC is excited to enter our first match of the Fall season! After weeks of practicing, our players are ready to get on the field and play. If you want to attend the game its at: 

951 Hilltop Cir, Halethorpe, MD 21228 

Hope to see you all there!

At the end of each season our team gathers for an evening of food, friends, awards, photos and a senior send off. You'll be able to find our slideshow from last season online soon.

Unfortunately our team said goodbye to Shay, Jamie, Tori, Vanessa, Jen, Jasmine, Val K and Harriet. We wish these lovely folks the best in their next steps in the *cringe* real world, and hope to see them at our next alumni game!

​We'd also like to congratulate all our rookies on completing their first season with UMDWRFC. We are lucky to have each and every one of you on the team!

Thanks again to Coach Winter for all the time and effort you put into the athletic development of our team. We can't wait for Fall matches to start!

To the rest of our team, thanks for another great season! We wish you all a happy, healthy summer.

Your favorite Ruggers played their last match of the season with our very own UMDWRFC alumni this past Saturday! Past, present (and even a few future) players faced off on iconic Frat Row field. It was a beautiful day for the game and the tailgate after! It was bittersweet to see the seniors play their last game, but at-least we'll see them at alumni matches in the future.

See you in the Fall!
