Marquette University Women's Rugby to NCR Finals 2021

The Marquette Women's Rugby team competes in the NCR D1 playoffs Dec 4th in Knoxville, TN at 3pm EST.

The collegiate club team takes on the JV side of Atlanta's varsity side at Life University. MU defeated Iowa St and Grand Valley St to advance.  

The winner advances to play the winner of the Univ. of Northern Iowa vs Notre Dame College, another varsity women's team from the Cleveland area. The finals are on Dec 5th.

Marquette women have former DSHA and MU rugger Aoife Hanley as head coach.  Hanley is also a RaMP ref member, who progressed to reffing WGR league matches this past fall.

A few other WGR alumni also play for MU women, notably forward captain Kayla McQuestion, CMH '18 and dynamic fullback Bella Ingrilli, CMH '21.  There may of course be others as well!

The Golden Eagle's scrumhalf, Evelyn Mitchell, played high school rugby in Canada and their flyhalf is a St Joseph's high school alumn.  Wing Frankie Ingram is another rugger with high school experience.

Safe travels to everyone.
