Rugby Women at PSU Head to Nationals

By Rebecca Kaufman on Friday, May 5, 2006.

There are a few collegiate sports that generally attract quite a bit of attention from their fans, like football, basketball and hockey. Rugby is typically not on that list. But at Plymouth State University, the women’s team thinks they might be turning heads. And understandably so. They are headed to California this weekend to play for the Women’s Rugby Collegiate Division II National Championship.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Rebecca Kaufman visited the team at a recent practice and brought back this story.

This story was awarded an honorable mention in the 2006 Sports Special category by the New Hampshire Associated Press Broadcasters Association.
