Knightmare Gets Dream Start in Girls 7s
Girls fall 7s is heating up; here's a quick rundown.
Knightmare Rugby came out on top in Rugby Pennsylvania's opening weekend, going 4-0 on a day where no other team won more than two.
Chasing Knightmare were Downingtown (2-2), Doylestown (2-1-1), Wes Carroll out of Maryland (2-1-1), and West Pittsburgh (2-2).
We had a good day, especially for so early in the season and versus some really good competition," said Knightmare Head Coach Joe Capp. "There's going to be some great 7s played this fall with this level of competition."
Leading the way for Knightmare are Bella Vogel and Bre Wertman, who put in major minutes and played at a high level. Capp said he doesn't want to lean on a small number of players as that's not the goal of the season.
"Our main focus for this fall is building depth, getting the fundamentals right, and enjoying the competition," he said.
