Women’s Rugby Wins Season Opener in Dominant Fashion

Coach Lowe grabs first win as head coach leading her team to a 49-10 win over South Carolina.

GREENWOOD - The Lander University Women's Rugby team began their Fall Season with a commanding 49-10 win over the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.
 
Head Coach Makayla Lowe expressed her satisfaction with the team's performance, highlighting their aggressive play and swift adjustment to the game. 
 
"I am extremely pleased with their performance," Coach Lowe said. "We started with eleven players in August, and we added eleven athletes who made their debut in this match. Coach Coco and I are very impressed with their rapid adaptation and outstanding performance."
 
The Bearcats' tries were scored by Kaitlyn Ausmus, Kacey Reynoso (2), Rachel Hammelman, Sydney Molaski, Zoe Flanagan, Joanna Mora, Emma Cook, and Candace Lynn. Emma Cook also contributed two conversions to the final score.
