Women’s Rugby
The women’s rugby club is looking for interested students to join the club for the fall 2023 season. For more information about the women’s rugby club, contact the club president, Aurora Mastro at aurora.mastro@keene.edu.
Interested students can also visit the club’s new 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 game times for the fall semester can contact the club’s match secretary Caroline Chase at caroline.chase@keene.edu.
