Wisconsin Girls Rugby Fall 2013 Scores Week 1

Friday Sept 13th
DSHA 75  Kettle Moraine 0

     Kettle Moraine, despite the scoreline, played well by all accounts and their young team showed character, commitment, and some good decision making all over the pitch for all sixty minutes.  They held Ds scoreless for the first ten minutes, and their strategy of having junior flyhalf Casssie Schultz kick deep to repel DS attacks was effective and a tactic KM teams of the recent past had not employed much.

    DSHA's depth was too overwhelming in this fifteens match though, and that may prove true for the entire conference.  Their team speed may be the strongest they have had in years with most of their pack having been backs at some point.  The story of the match for them may be goalkicking though where they seem to have found something special.  A 12 out of 15 performance from their kicker, Kendyl Braun, which included several side kicks was impressive.  They've always had strong kickers, but their coaching staff is excited about how consistent they were this match and this could prove to be the most consistent goalkicking they've had.

Division Two
Muskego 27. DSHA 42. ( other reports have it at 25 to 27)
All six of DSHA,s  tries were converted, continuing their theme of strong goalkicking.  This was a good matchup of young athletes and Muskego was able to score several tries through some athletic ballcarrying.  They were improved over last week.

Saturday Sept 14th
Division One
Catholic Memorial 58  Oak Creek 0
     In a physical encounter, the Crusaders were able to pull away from a strong Oak Creek side.  Memorial's Rebecca Haight continued her try scoring ways from last spring with four more.  She notched three tries during the national tournament and has tremendous breakaway speed.  Oak Creek finished the match strong and hammered away at the Memorial red zone for the last ten minutes of the match, showing improvement as the match went on and a penchant for not giving up.

CMHS JV 25 Oak Creek 5
Playing Sevens for three halves, or would that be periods?, both teams got a chance for all their freshman to play.  Although there were alot of stoppages inthe first period, both teams quickly learned to adjust, and the final two periods saw both sides go back and forth in some nice, flowing rugby.  memorial freshman Stephanie Gull got Cmh on the board with a long try and added another one fie minutes later.   Oak Creek's fiesty scrumhalf Abby Uljanec (10th) added a try of her own in the middle period to keep things tight.
