All-Time Series vs. Dartmouth: N/A
WELCOME HOME
The Quinnipiac women's rugby team returns to Hamden, Connecticut for their first home game in the 2015 season to face the Dartmouth College Big Green on Saturday, Sept. 19 at 12 P.M. at the QU Rugby Field.
ALL-TIME SERIES
Quinnipiac and Dartmouth are meeting for the first team in each program's history. Both teams were supposed to meet during the 2014 season, but their initial meeting was cancelled due to inclement weather.
SCOUTING THE BIG GREEN
Dartmouth is fresh off its first ever varsity win, defeating the University of Pennsylvania, 77-5, in Ivy League action. Yejadai Dunn recorded a game-high three tries for the Big Green while Audrey Perez scored two. In all, 10 different Dartmouth players recorded trys for Dartmouth. Kat Ramage also added four conversions to finish second on the team with 13 points in the home varsity opener. The Big Green opened up their first varsity game with a 29-0 lead before taking a 48-5 lead into halftime.
HOME OPENER ADVANTAGE
In each of the Quinnipiac women's rugby team's first four seasons, the Bobcats have won their home opener at the QU Rugby Field. In home openers, the Bobcats are outscoring opponents 203-36 in four games leading up to the matchup with the Big Green. The Bobcats are 13-4-1 all-time when playing at the QU Rugby Field, including an impressive 6-2 in the last two seasons.
ROSKOPF'S MODERN LIFE
Emily Roskopf (Pleasanton, California) has gotten off to a torrid start in her collegiate career, scoring five trys through her first two games to lead the team. Roskopf also leads the team in points with 25 off of her five trys. In the loss to Army West Point on Sept. 12, Roskopf added two runs-over-twenty for the Bobcats, the most on the team in that game.
I COULD WALK 500 MYLES
The Bobcats have been anchored on the defensive side of the ball by Maggie Myles (Emmitsburg, Maryland) as she is among the team leaders in tackles with 13 in two games. Against Army West Point, Myles was second on the team with eight solo tackles in the loss while also scoring her first try of the season for the Bobcats. With her try, Myles has now tallied nine in her career.
WISE WORDS
Myles and Roskopf weren't the only ones scoring for the Bobcats against the Black Knights as Lindey Wise (Franklin, Wisconsin) scored her first try of the season and third of her career. Wise had scored two trys as a sophomore last season before tallying her first as a junior.
LINED UP
One facet of the game the Bobcats have dominated this season is in lineouts, as the Bobcats have held a distinctive 21-4 advantage through two games against The College of Notre Dame in Ohio and Army West Point. In the season opener against The College of Notre Dame, Quinnipiac held the advantage of lineouts at 13-2.
THAT'S A WRAP
Ilona Maher (Burlington, Vermont) and Karee Helgerson (Portland, Oregon) were dominant on the defensive side of the ball at Army West Point on Saturday, Sept. 12 as each player recorded nine solo tackles in the victory. In addition to Maher's defensive efforts, she recorded her fourth assist of the season with one against the Black Knights to claim the team lead through two games.
NEW FOUNDATIONS
This season marks a new conference for the Quinnipiac women's rugby team as they are one of eight programs to be founding members of the National Collegiate Varsity Women's Rugby Association (NCVWRA). Quinnipiac joins Army West Point, Bowdoin, Brown, Central Washington, Harvard, Norwich and West Chester as founding members. The conference is focused on growing the sport of women's rugby and is open to all NCAA schools at any level that sponsor women's rugby at the varsity level.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Quinnipiac women's rugby team will hit the road once again next weekend as they travel to Northfield, Vermont to face the Norwich Cadets beginning at 12 P.M. at the NU Dog River Rugby Pitch.
