The Fairfield Women’s Rugby Club has just cinched its first playoff victory in the history of the club’s 15-years. The team is now advancing to the MET Division III Finals against Hofstra on Sunday at 1 p.m. This is just one step closer to a dream for this Connecticut club.
The Fairfield girls are smaller than the Hofstra players, but their hearts are as big as it gets. This will be their second meeting of the season. The match against Hofstra was the only non-win of the season, but it wasn’t a loss either. The two tied 20-20.
Forward captain Jessica Pierce, senior, said:
“It’s so exciting to be part of the season we’ve had and to see that our hard work has paid off. To be with a group of girls this dedicated and talented is really an honor. It isn’t over yet though, we’ll be training all week in preparation for Hofstra and hopefully some great matches against teams outside of our league after Sunday’s match.”
