The Penn Women's Rugby Team hosted Columbia in a match that decided second place in the Ivy Rugby Conference's White division. While both teams came into the contest with identical 1-1 records and had each earned 5 points in league play, Penn was well rested coming into their match after they enjoyed a week off. Columbia, on the other hand, is coming off of an impressive win against Princeton on the road.
It was Penn who came out on top by a score of 79-19 in a hard fought contest.
The match was played at Penn's Dunning-Cohen Champions Field in Philadelphia.
Cornell University @ Yale (Women)
The Big Red should travel strong to New Haven this weekend as the 3-0 Cornell Women take on the 0-2 Yale Bulldogs. Cornell handily defeated Penn and Columbia in their two league matches.
Columbia @ Princeton (W)
The Lady Tigers play host to Columbia University this weekend at Rickerson Field on the campus of Princeton University. Though Columbia comes in with a 1-1 record in the White Division, look for the Tigers (0-2) to break out this weekend after a couple of very tight losses to Brown and Dartmouth. The women of NY have their work cut out for them in this cross divisional non-league contest.
Brown Tops Princeton on the Road, 34-24
