Boston is the leader in the North - Fall 2022 Recap /  by Allie Brouckman

We started the fall season with a restructured path to qualifying for playoffs (aka 2023 Atlantic Super Regional (ASR)) with the goal of reducing costs like flying for games, thus splitting our original conference into North vs South. Women’s Division 1 spans the following rugby unions: Capital, EPRU, Empire, and NERFU.

We welcomed new teammates to Boston, as we beefed up our schedule with plenty of developmental matches to work on rugby fundamentals, new combinations or tactics, and get new players time on the field. 

Fall 2022 Scores:

  • (L) 0-38. Sept 10 Beantown B - home

  • (W) 49-5. Sept 17 Providence - away

  • Sept 24 bye weekend 

  • (W) 41-31. Oct 1 Philly - home

  • (W) 68-0. Oct 22 Providence - home

  • (L) 5-21. Nov 5 Beantown B - away

Boston #1 Seed in the North!
