High School Girls
In one of the most exciting and well-played girls high school rugby games any fan will ever want to see, Divine Savior Holy Angels held off Sparta Rock 31-29 to win the 2023 Midwest Championships.
The game capped an exciting weekend of rugby that saw teams from all over the region compete.
Divine Savior Holy Angels and Sparta Rock will face off in Sunday’s final of the Girls Midwest Rugby Championships.
Both won their first two games on a day when a relatively short thunderstorm interrupted a beautiful day of rugby.
The Midwest Girls Championships kicks off Saturday at the Moose Rugby Grounds in Elkhart, Ind.
It's an interesting mix of teams because teams from Wisconsin, where their main season is in the fall, come to compete with teams active in the spring.
The Charlotte Cardinals won the inaugural girls bracket at the Gonzaga Classic, putting an impressive stamp on the competition by beating Morris in the final.
But they weren't the only team that showed well, as the girls teams showed that bringing them into the Gonzaga Classic was a very good idea.
