ABOUT BUWRFC
Bloomsburg Women's Rugby is a growing family.
Our team began in 1995, and almost twenty years later, our team continues to expand and grow with every season. We are constantly encouraging women at Bloomsburg University to join this sport which we have all come to know and love. Women's rugby is a highly competitive sport. We take pride in all of our accomplishments, no matter how big or small and we are always up for a new challenge. In the fall of 2014, we will be advancing to a new division: the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference so our growth as a team can continue.
Our team has been highly successful in the past few seasons. In 2013, our team took second place in the EPRU small college division championship game. During the 2014 season, our team became more competitive and entered the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference(MARC) to play division II rugby. Even though we came in as the underdogs, we took second place in the conference and advanced to the Sweet 16s in nationals. In our 2015 spring season, we were the MARC Series Champion and again advanced to national play where we took second place overall. We are looking forward to another competitive season and hoping for even more success!
We love welcoming new members onto our team! No previous rugby experience is necessary to join. Most of the girls on the team had no previous experience. Rugby contains elements from both soccer and football, but is entirely its own sport and there are always new things to learn about it. As long as you are a good team player and are willing to keep an open mind, are hardworking in practices & matches, and are dedicated to learning about rugby, this may be the sport for you!
