GRR: HS Girls
The Upright Rugby Rogues girls of Oakville, Ont. won the Girls Elite Bracket at the NAI 7s this weekend, going 5-1 in round-robin play, and then garnering revenge over Utah Lions Elite in the final 26-0.
The Girls HS All Americans (powered by Atavus) U18 team thumped the Quebec U18 girls 46-5 Friday at the campus of Mount Saint Mary’s College in the first of a two-game series between the two teams.
Following up on the GHSAA U16s’ shut out of their Quebecois counterparts, the older girls were only slightly less dominant.
There is still plenty to play for in the Girls brackets at the NAI 7s, but right now things look good for a couple of the local teams.
EMMITSBURG, Md. - The USA Rugby Girls High School All-Americans powered by ATAVUS U16s opened their first-ever international series with a 71-0 shutout of Rugby Québec Friday on the campus of Mount Saint Mary's.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Olympic Committee sanctioned its first ever Rugby specific Community Olympic Development Program (CODP) under the direction of Play Rugby USA (PRUSA) in partnership with the Northeast Academy. The first two U18 squads born of that initiative will make their elite tournament debuts next week at the North American Invitational 7s (NAI7s) in Salt Lake City, UT.
