College Women
Although only a sophomore, Danielle Ordway is a familiar name on campus. For the third time in her short career, Davenport University has named Ordway as the Female Athlete of the Week.

The Penn State vs. Norwich women’s game last weekend was replete with highlight-reel action, so it’s no surprise that the Aircraft Charter Solutions Women’s College Player of the Week came out of that bout.

The Mid-Atlantic conference (MARC) got underway last weekend and saw six DII women’s colleges kick off their competitive seasons.
Eight colleges with varsity rugby programs have banded together to form the National Collegiate Varsity Women’s Rugby Association.
