BOSTON, Mass. - The Endicott women's rugby program got off to a great start last Saturday with a 103-12 win over Wentworth in their first matchup of the 2018 season.
The Gulls took flight early and never let up, as Endicott maintained a comfortable lead throughout the game. In addition to its strong and effective defensive presence, several Endicott student-athletes registered outstanding offensive performances throughout the afternoon:
Shannon O'Malley (Lewiston, Maine) - 7 tries
Amanda Poulin (Turner, Maine) - 5 tries & 6 conversions
Felicia Bouchard (Wales, Mass.) - 2 tries
Kelsey Joyce (Wharton, N.J.) - 1 try & 5 conversions
Jordan Zak (Brimfield, Mass.) - 1 try
Natalie Shambo (Hopkinton, Mass.) - 1 try
"[This is] Shannon O'Malley's first rugby match ever," said Endicott women's rugby head coach Carly Baker. "She had a great performance, as well as the rest of our team. The vets were super helpful and supportive leading up to this match. It was an impressive first win, overall."
