BRISTOL, R.I. — The Roger Williams University women's rugby team defeated Middlebury 58-0 at home on Saturday afternoon.
In their second match of the season, the Hawks were able to overcome a tough Middlebury defense. The Hawks defense responded with
Emma Wright (Manchester, N.H.) and sophomore
Zoey Cormican (Rochester, N.H.) making crucial tackles to drive back the Middlebury offense.
Natalia Comiskey (Clinton, Conn.) and
Sada Libby-Grantham both held down the sidelines and had key offensive runs, each earning scoring tries.
Eight different players scored for the Hawks, with both the team's youth and experience getting in on the action.
Roger Williams (2-0) will be in action next weekend when they travel to Colby, for a match in Waterville, Maine at 1 pm.
