Wisconsin rolled to an dominating 127-0 victory against the visiting Chicago Sirens in front of a large home crowd Saturday.
Welcoming alumni and the club’s little sister team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin saw eight different players score tries during the match and three players notch conversions.
Outside center Kelly Mullen lead the team with six tries for 30 points during the match, followed by wing Emi Frerichs with four tries. Hooker Elisa Becker converted on eight of nine kicks to score 16 points in the first half, while teammates Mary Hanks and Liz Robinson handled the conversions in the second half of the match.
The team followed the match with a friendly b-side scrimmage with the UW team and celebrated the day’s victory with a joint social with its fellow victorious brother teams from the Wisconsin Rugby Club.
Just an all-around fun autumn day for Wisconsin Rugby in Madison. The team improves to 2-0 in league play and 3-0-1 overall this season. Wisconsin’s 127 points takes the mark as the largest amount of points scored in Midwest D-2 Western league play, knocking down the Twin Cities Amazons 122 and Palmer’s 111, both scored against the St. Cloud Sirens.
