GRR: Dartmouth
PRESS RELEASE — Dartmouth College Director of Athletics and Recreation Harry Sheehy announced that Dartmouth will elevate its women’s rugby team from a club sport to varsity status starting with the 2015-16 academic year.
It was the 35th anniversary of the D.C. Ruggerfest, and clubs from around the country traveled to the nation's capital for one of the largest women-only tournaments in the U.S. Dartmouth made a tour out of the trip south and celebrated its first stop with a tournament trophy.
Following his studies, Walmsley, of Fort Macleod, Canada, hopes to "work as an advocate for human social justice and fairness," according to his Rhodes Scholars profile.
Two conferences are represented in the Northeast region of the USA Rugby Women’s DI College Fall Championship, hosted by ACRA, Round of 16. The Northeast conference sent its first-, second- and fourth-place teams: Norwich, American International College (AIC) and UCONN, respectively. The Ivy League is represented by conference finalist Dartmouth.
A couple more games remain in the Ivy League but it’s essentially over as Dartmouth is again the class of the competition.
