PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton University women's rugby team hosted Long Island University Sunday in its final regular season contest of its inaugural fall campaign at the varsity level.
The contest was played as three sevens matches, and along with it being a Pride Game, it was also Senior Day. The Tigers honored the Class of 2023 consisting of Kristen Ahner, Hadley Clayton, Julia Douvas and Kathryn-Alexa Kennedy with a short ceremony on the field.
"It was a great morning of rugby exhibiting our strengths, which we have been building upon all season," said Head Coach Josie Ziluca. "This is a tough group and this was an exciting look at what our spring season has in store. Today was also a beautiful finale to a brutal and memorable first season competing with other established varsity programs. We've learned a lot and it's only going to get better"
Match One
The Sharks took a 14-0 lead at the half, but Sofie Grouws and Amelia Clarke scored for the Tigers in the second half. The final score was 14-10, in LIU's favor.
Match Two
While the Tigers trailed 19-0 at the half, Alayshja Bable scored in the second half to make it a 24-7 final.
Match Three
With the score tied 0-0 at halftime, Bable scored her second try of the day and made the conversion in the second half. The match ended a 7-7 tie.
