We had two more league matches last weekend! WWU picked up a solid win against Reed College 41-5 and UPS beat Seattle U 52-5. Now that each team has played one league match, the standings have been updated and the ladies of University of Puget Sound sit at the top!

Looking forward to this weekend, we have two more league matches: Western Oregon will host UPS and EWU will host Reed College; best of luck ladies! Western is also hosting a friendly against the Cougs of WSU.

Two matches have been postponed until spring due to extenuating circumstances: WOU’s match against Central Washington and WWU’s match against U of O will both be made up next year. Have fun this weekend!

We had our first league match last weekend between Western Oregon and Eastern Washington. The Eagles pulled out a victory of 7-0 in a tough defensive battle. Western WA also hosted the Huskies for a Halloween friendly match that saw a 17-5 Husky victory, but a lot of fun was had by both teams. Congrats!

Several teams have their first league match ups this weekend! Reed College will host Western Washington and Seattle U will host UPS. Best of luck, ladies! Central Washington will also travel to Western Oregon for a friendly Saturday! Make sure you send in your match sheets after your games!

Last weekend Central hosted Western for a tough fought match up that ended 119-0 in favor of the Wildcats. Western’s mostly-rookie team played hard and learned a lot on the fly against a stout Wildcat team. There is definitely a lot of potential for them down the road! As far as match ups for this Halloweekend, Western will play hosts to the Dawgs of UW and EWU will travel to Western Oregon. Make sure you send your match report sheets in after the games are over! And try to catch New Zealand and Australia in the Rugby World Cup final tomorrow morning if you get a chance! It’s on at 9am PST. Happy Halloween!

Happy Saturday, Ruggers! We have two matches this weekend! The WSU Cougars are hosting Western Oregon today for another D1 friendly in Pullman. And Western is traveling to Ellensburg for a match up with Central Washington tomorrow. Best of luck ladies!

We are so excited for our Fall 2015 season to kick off tomorrow! Two of our CCWRC teams will be playing friendlies against D1 teams! Western Washington University will be hosting the Oregon Ducks at home in Bellingham and Western Oregon will play the Oregon State Beavers in Monmouth. Good luck!
