Dartmouth over Dartmouth

Dartmouth Wins Ivy Sevens Championship

After its victory in this year’s USA Sevens College Rugby Championship and a perfect run through their Ivy Rugby XVs season, Dartmouth came into Saturday’s Ivy Sevens Championship at the Irish Culture Centre in Canton, MA with no small amount of expectation weighing down upon them. But despite getting the best shot from all their opponents, The Big Green proved more than up to the challenge winning all five of their matches and capturing the championship after a 40-14 win in the final.

Princeton Women vs. Harvard: The rematch

On October 1, 2011 Princeton Women defeated Harvard Women 26-14. Due to the victory, Princeton qualifies for nationals. Three teams from the Northeast will make the national field of 16.

Harvard Women, who won the Division II National Championship in the spring of 2011, do not make the finals, but can consider the season a success as they move up and compete admirably in their first season in the 1st Division and in the Ivy Rugby Conference.

Brown wins the Northeast!

The Northeast championship match pitted 2 of the top women's rugby programs in the country against one another. In a match characterized by big hits and tenacious runs Brown beat Army, the reigning national champions 36-17. Both sides go to the National playoffs in the spring.
