NEWBERRY, S.C. — Today was a day of firsts for the Newberry College Women's Rugby team, as today would mark the first Senior Day for the new program. Ringing in the match with pregame festivities, senior Ariana Hawkins (Valdese, N.C.) was honored for being the very first in the program to receive the recognition and will be the first ever Newberry College Women's Rugby alumni. It was a special time for the team, individuals involved, and the institution as a whole, but after all the festivities, it was time for some morning rugby!

GAME 1: NC 34, GC 0

The first game of the morning bout, the Wolves would get started very quickly and not look back. Junior Taqwai Seburn (Warner Robins, Ga.) would lead the way for the Wolves with three tries on the day, but it would be a fun one as multiple Wolves would get on the score sheet as well. Freshmen Anna Howell (Boise, Idaho) and Vicky Noel (Elgin, S.C.), along with sophomore Dasha Timms (Anderson, S.C.) would all score tries in the first game, with Hawkins securing two conversion kicks to rout the Quakers in Game 1.

GAME 2: NC 25, GC 12

The second and final game of the day, Newberry College would get out to another quick start on the day. Seburn's first half try would grab the early lead for the Wolves, but the Quakers would not be denied in this game. A second try was scored by Timms, but Guilford would come back with a try of their own. Victoria Noel would then proceed to score her second try of the morning in as many games. Guilford would score an ensuing try and conversion, but that would be all the scoring from the visitors as tries from Howell and Hawkins (along with two conversions) would put the match out of reach and ensure that the Fall 2022 season would end with a bang.
