In their most recent game, Norwich fell to Army West Point, 45-17. The Cadets have won two of the last three national championships, dropping last year's final to Penn. State, 42-5. Norwich is 31-2 combined in the last two years including an undefeated 19-0 season in 2013.
LAST TIME OUT
In their home opener, the Bobcats defeated Dartmouth, 43-5 in the Big Green's second all-time varsity contest. Quinnipiac trailed 5-0 after an early Dartmouth try, but went on a 43-0 run to close out the game.
FIRST TRY
Sophomores Karee Helgerson and Flora Poole each recorded their first career try against Dartmouth. Helgerson gave the Bobcats a 36-5 score by punching through the Big Green defense in the second half. Poole tallied her first career try with a 30 yard run for the final QU score of the day.
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 eight trys through her first three games to lead the team. Roskopf also leads the team in points with 40 off of her eight scores. 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. Against Dartmouth, the freshman ran for a 50-yard score after picking up the ball off a Myles kick.
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 women's rugby team returns to Hamden on Saturday, October 3. The Bobcats will host Life University at 12 p.m. from the QU Rugby Field.
