GRR: Norwich University Women
Last Saturday, five DI varsity programs convened in Providence, R.I., for the inaugural Varsity 7s tournament. Norwich was forecasted to win, and it did, but the Cadets did not cruise to the title.
Norwich women won its third 7s tournament of the spring season, outscoring opponents 171-7 en route to the Scott Milley 7s title at the University of New Hampshire. But that points differential isn't even the most impressive stat; the Cadets have never lost a 7s game – ever – and boast a 51-0 all-time record.
Norwich returned to the pitch yesterday, traveling south to Loudonville, N.Y., for Siena College’s PatRUCK’s 7s tournament. In their first outing of the season, the Cadets went 4-0, outscoring opponents 107-10.
Quinnipiac showed plenty of grit against the Penn State Nittany Lions, but two first-half yellow cards against the Bobcats and two tries by PSU wing Tess Feury led to a 13-5 halftime lead for the eight-time National Champions and ultimately a 35-12 victory.
