Portal:1978 Spring Women/Intro

(From Sue Slavec): In the Spring of 1978 we played as many games as we could find, traveled around the front range for games and ended the season 3-3-3. The Navy Ensign was part of the USAFA Athletic Department and played with us before becoming the OIC Fall of 1978.

(A little about Sue: Before joining the Class of 80, she attended the University of Colorado Boulder and there played on the women’s rugby team. Fast forward to Spring of 1977, here 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 sought out the 1981 women to join in.)

The first games were in Fall 1977 (80 3*s and 81 4*s) and we had a 2-2 season and a lot of motivation to get better and recruit more women. T
