Brown women put up 101 points vs Columbia
Despite wet conditions Brown Women’s Rugby put 101 points on the visiting Columbia women at Marvel Field this past weekend.
From the first kickoff, Brown was on the move and scored their first try within 43 seconds of the opening whistle by inside center and Captain, Oksana Goretaya ’17.

First half action saw the score at Brown 39 – Columbia 0.
