It was a pretty good week for Harvard women's rugby.
The Crimson saw three alumni, including last year's co-captain, get picked for the USA RWC squad, and then celebrated that by beating Mount St. Mary's 95-3 on Saturday. Harvard was simply too quick in their ball presentation, too quick to reorganize after each phase, and too smooth with the ball.
The result was that the Mount was chasing their own tails much of the game and Harvard's talented new recruits once again had some space to shine—set up as they were by their veteran leadership.
Dartmouth defeated Sacred Heart in impressive fashion 29-3. It was Dartmouth's first game of the season and a good defensive showing. Lauren Ferridge scored two tries and Sophie Ragg, Jordan Duncan, and Asialeata Meni each added one. Sacred Heart made them work for it—it was 5-3 until just before halftime—and at 1-1-1 the Pioneers are still in good shape in the conference.
In another blowout Brown beat Princeton 83-0. Brown moved to 1-1-1 behind Noelle Lewis's four tries and Julia Murray ran the attack nicely from flyhalf.
