I am thinking up a nice post about the PRU U23 scrimmage this past Sunday, but I'm currently far too distracted by the Election (yes! capitalized!) to sit still long enough to write it.
In the meantime, I found this lovely article on women's rugby, focusing on St. Mary's and NCAA recognition:
Women find rugby a good match
By Carl Steward
An excerpt:
"What I like about it is it can be pouring rain and you're dead tired but you're still having so much fun," said Wendy Amador, a Saint Mary's sophomore from Livermore High. "You don't want it to stop."
Women's rugby literally bashes all stereotypes about a female's ability to play a rough sport with the same verve and volatility as men.
"I like intense games, and rugby gives me an adrenaline rush," said Hayward native Bianca Mira, who attended Bishop O'Dowd High in Oakland. "It's way better than basketball, where you just get elbowed here and there. Rugby dispels myths. Women love contact."
