Women’s Rugby

The women’s rugby club will resume activity in the fall 2025 semester. Students interested in more information about the women’s rugby club can contact the club president, Neila Jerome at nelia.jerome@keene.edu.

Interested students can also visit the club’s OwlNet page at https://keene.presence.io/organization/womens-rugby-club.

The women’s rugby club, in existence since 1988, is always looking for interested players to join the team. No prior experience is necessary to play. In fact, most of our players begin with no knowledge of the game! If you’re interested in playing, please feel free to reach out to the president.

The Keene State women’s rugby club participates in the NERFU-NSCRO South bracket. Teams looking to coordinate games can contact the club’s match secretary Caroline Chase at caroline.chase@keene.edu.
