Women's rugby team wins Division II national championship

The UCSC Women’s Rugby Team won the Division II National Collegiate Championships in convincing fashion on Saturday, at Stanford’s Steuber Rugby Stadium.

The 22-10 victory capped an undefeated season in which the Banana Slugs dominated league play, then went 4-0 in playoffs. The team has gone 18-2 the last three years against Division II opponents. A rally to honor the team will take place Friday at 12:30 p.m. on the grass triangle outside the main campus pool.
