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.
