It was kind of tough at first because we had no fields. We had to kind of start training when it was still snowy out, so we were doing a lot of stuff in the halls. Rugby isn t really a sport you can teach in the halls, Seiling said. For many on the team, the highlight of the season was May 11, when they made their way to Grand River Collegiate. The game may have ended in a 0-0 tie, but that was as good as victory for Seiling.
Grand River is considered number two in the league, a very strong team.
I think I was the most happy out of everyone, she said. That s an incredible accomplishment. In the hopes of having a more experienced team next year, Seiling is encouraging the girls to participate in a summer league. Players returning with a little more experience can only make the team better, she said.
