1977 Fall Women Portal
This was the first season for the AFA Women, with the first victory ever coming at the hands of Colorado Springs Women, 26-0 on 17 September 1977. Squadron Leader Gordon Alderson, being the stauch English traditionalist, was firmly against women playing rugby, and did all he could to prevent its formation. Hence the nickname for this team was "The Gordon Alderson Side"
The backstory on how the team was started from Sue Slavec: Before joining the Class of 80, Sue attended the University of Colorado Boulder and there played on the women’s rugby team. Fast forward to Spring of 1977, her doolie year, she searched out Al Osur and worked together on creating the women’s side that started Fall 1977. She rounded up roommates and hallmates and recruited anyone that was interested and specifically sought out the 1981 women to join in.
The first games were in Fall 1977 and we had a 2-2 season with only the classes of '80 and '81, and a lot of motivation to get better and recruit more women.
