Women's Rugby Heads to Frostburg State for NIRA Semifinals Sunday

BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College women's rugby team will travel to Frostburg, Maryland, on Sunday, November 15, to face Frostburg State University in the National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) Division II/III semifinals. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

SEMIFINAL SHOWDOWN
The third-seeded Polar Bears will look to avenge a narrow regular-season loss to the second-seeded Bobcats, who rallied for a 20-17 victory in a tightly contested matchup on October 3 at Vassar College. Bowdoin built a 14-10 halftime lead behind tries from Maddy Kosmoski and Sachi Mehra, with Ellie Carter adding a pair of conversions. Carter extended the lead to 17-10 with an early second-half penalty kick, but Frostburg State answered with two tries, including the game-winner with 15 minutes remaining, to secure the three-point victory.

CHAMPIONSHIP INFORMATION
The winner of Sunday's semifinal will advance to NIRA Championship Weekend, scheduled for November 21–22 at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. The Division II/III championship match is scheduled for Sunday, November 22, at noon.
