HANOVER, N.H. – Head women's rugby coach Katie Dowty has announced the team's fall schedule, which features eight matches, including four at Brophy Field, and begins Saturday, Aug. 31 against Army.
"We are hungry to bring another championship home to Hanover," said Dowty.
"The hard yards already started last winter and spring and the team is determined to hit the ground running this fall. As always, we are aiming to play an even more exciting and fast-paced brand of rugby – with the fitness and skill set to match. This year we are especially looking forward to seeing our newest coach, Coach Daley and our incoming class make an immediate impact and add their own flair to the squad. We have a great slate of home games, so we'll see you out at Brophy!"
