Endicott Beats Plymouth State To Claim CCRC Title

CANTON, Mass. – The Endicott women's club rugby team traveled to the Irish American Cultural Center in Canton, Mass. over the weekend for the Colonial Coast Rugby Conference (CCRC) championship against Plymouth State. The Gulls defeated the Panthers by a score of 46-17 to earn the 2016 CCRC championship title.

The Gulls came in to the match looking to remain undefeated after a hard fought victory over Salve Regina on October 30th on Senior Day. Throughout the championship match a myriad of players contributed both offensively and defensively for the Gulls.

Offensively, junior Michelle Palmer (Brimfield, Mass.) led the way with two tries in the match. Samantha Hontas (Lee, Mass.), Diana Sutherland (Woonsocket, R.I.), Katie Page (Salem, N.H.), Shelby Stevenson (South Dartmouth, Mass.) and Maggie Birge (Rindge, N.H.) all scored one try a piece. Lexi Labossiere (Waltham, Mass.) also hit three conversions for the Gulls.

Endicott has now advanced to the NSRCO Women's Northeast Regional Playoffs, which will take place on November 12th at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, N.H.
