The WZRFC beat CU 115 to 10. We had a good number of parents and some grandparents who watched their daughters or granddaughters play Rugby for the first time - they were impressed and loved it - and FYI - I did mention the fund to them. We had 8 girls that could not even travel to Boulder because of Academic Probations and/or injuries. "On the flip-side," the girls that have been playing have learned and gained VALUABLE experience and it came together for them against CU Boy did we need that kind of a win getting ready to go into the ACRA Sweet 16 playoffs.

So now ACRA next weekend - we will play University of Northern Iowa - they beat us last year and went on to the final 4. Then we will play either University of Indiana or University of Iowa. If we win 2 matches next weekend - AFA will be in the Final 4 for the first time since 2003. Final 4 will be in 2 weeks somewhere in Florida.

One last thing - TSgt Haun arranged for the WZRFC to be on a float during this past Saturday's Veteran's Day Parade in Colorado Springs - that was HUGE for our Women's Rugby team to be put in that public limelight like that.
