Fairfield’s women’s rugby team has quietly become one of the best in the country

Rebecca Ponessa ’15 says choosing to join the Fairfield Women’s Rugby
Club has been one of the best decisions she has made at Fairfield.

“We are a reflection of a family. We have former cheerleaders,
equestrians, and girls who have never played a sport in their lives. We
accept any person who chooses to give rugby a shot. Yes, it is a new and
growing sport for women in college, but we will support anyone who
gives it a little time and effort.”

“I know that all of us lay everything out every time we walk on the
pitch, and when we come off we have nothing left,” she added. “Our team
has done well over the years because we are constantly building. I think
we will have nothing short of an amazing team for another year.”

They won their game last weekend, 50-0.

Hey, good on them!
