Wisconsin Earns Second Win After Bittersweet Forfeit from Des Moines

After a week of hard work and great anticipation for the team's first home game, the Wisconsin Women gained a 28-0 win after the Des Moines Women forfeited the game due to a shortage of traveling players.

The win by forfeit earns Wisconsin both the win and the bonus point in the Midwest standings, but left the team from Madison without a home rugby game Saturday and without a match the team felt positive about winning successfully.

The following Wisconsin players were slated to play Saturday:
Lena Arvola
Megan Bondehagen
Jessica Burda
Perla Casetta
Meg Dickoff
Tricia DiPiazza
Melodie French
Bridgett Hammen
Mary Hanks
Jenn Johnson
Monica Kaskey
Jackie Limberg
Gena Lyon
Katie Meyer
Meaghan Odling
Aletha Petersen
Nadia Riese
Katie Rouse
Rachael Weiker
Katie Williams
