Newberry, S.C. – The Women's Rugby team faced off against Anderson Broaddus in the second meeting between the two teams. Facing off against the Battlers in West Virginia September 17, the Wolves would claim a victory in one game before dropping two en route to Alderson Broaddus winning the series, but Head Coach Emily Roskopf and the team would be looking to change their fortunes around and secure a series victory this time around. Kicking off on a beautiful Saturday morning with perfect playing conditions, the stage was set for the second meeting against these two rugby programs. 

GAME 1: ABU 12, NC 10

The first game in the series was a close one for the Wolves as they would drop the first game 12-10. A successful try and conversion from the Battlers put them on the board first, but a long try was scored by junior Taqwai Seburn (Warner Robins, Ga.) to put Newberry on the board. An unsuccessful try would leave the Wolves trailing, but another long try was scored by freshman Anna Howell (Boise, Idaho) to take the lead. Unfortunately, the Battlers would score the game winning try at the end of regulation to steal Game 1.

GAME 2: ABU 0, NC 0 (NC WINS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF PLAYERS)

The second game was forfeited after Alderson Broaddus could not field enough players due to injury in the first half.

The Wolves will be back in action for their last home match of the Fall 2022 season against Guilford College on College Street Field October 15 with a 11 AM kickoff.
