ORSU Women Finish 5th/6th Nationally
After a 6-0 undefeated season in league play, the ORSU Women advanced to the USA Rugby Elite 8 Nationals in Austin, TX. In their first match, the Jesters faced a large and strong Chicago North Shore team, with quick, skilled backs. In a fierce battle, both teams kept each other out of their try zones until well into the second half. ORSU held a slight edge in possession and territory during the first half, but couldn't break the goal line. North Shore slotted two penalties in the first half, while ORSU missed their attempts. Following a yellow card to ORSU and an ensuing penalty conversion about 10 minutes into the second half, North Shore was finally able to breach the Jesters' goal line. ORSU's opponents capitalized well on the yellow to score another uncoverted try, with the final score North Shore 21-0 ORSU. However, on Sunday ORSU came out firing against the Seattle Breakers and never let up the lead. Both the forwards and backs put in a spirited performance with some great phases of rugby, to defeat the Seattle Breakers 38-22. Nationals are always challenging, and we are proud of our Jesters for their efforts!
