The Sheridan Bruins women’s rugby team (3-1 OCAA) tore up the turf this weekend at homecoming in their game against Mohawk College. The lady Bruins scored nine tries and two conversions in the 66 minutes of play on Oct. 3, defeating the Mountaineers 49-0.
This has been the lady Bruins most successful season since the women’s rugby program started four years ago. The progress was clear in their performance on Saturday.
“Our scrums looked good nice and low, our rucks were very aggressive, we stole a few of their rucks which means the girls were really getting low and driving well,” said head coach Tamara Dixon after the game. “We secured all of our lineouts, and all of our scrums as well, and the penalty count was very low.”
The lady bruins were the opener for homecoming this weekend and they certainly led the charge with their big win against the Mountaineers. With their third win this season they officially secured a playoff spot for the first time in Sheridan’s rugby history. …show more content…

    In the seventh inning down by a score of 3-0, Charleston combined for four runs from shortstop Kyle Holder, first baseman Kane Sweeney, second baseman Hoy Jun Park and left-fielder Cesar Diaz. Despite the odds not being in their favor with Rome having a 90 percent win expectancy heading into the bottom of the 7th inning, Charleston prevailed in what was arguably the loudest game at “The Joe” this season. Friday marked the first playoff victory in the RiverDogs name. They were swept in their back-to-back post-season appearances in 2004 and 2005. Prior to this year’s RiverDogs squad, the last team to play in Charleston and obtain a playoff victory was the 1988 Charleston Rainbows, who defeated Myrtle Beach 3-1 in the opening round prior to being swept by Spartanburg 3-0 in the 1988 Finals.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of 111 Wins And Counting

    996 Words  | 4 Pages

    Winning is fun, however it must get boring if all your team does is destroy your opponent. This is the University of Connecticut (also known as UConn) women’s basketball team with a win streak of 111 games that was heartbreakingly ended in the semifinals of the 2017 NCAA tournament with a 66-64 loss to Mississippi State. Jan Diehm, the author of “111 Wins and Counting,” writes about this streak and claims that the UConn women’s basketball team is one of the best college teams to ever compete, in the newspaper The Guardian. Diehm believes that this success is due to the skill of each player on the team and their ability to execute the coach’s plan. She supports this claim through her use of statistics, quotes and logic.
