11/7/2009 Northeast Playoffs: Hamilton College @ Army

This was the Northeast #1 v. #8. Hamilton College women come from a school of 2000 students and this was their first year in D1. Good on them for making the playoffs (NYS #3) but surely they would be happier in D2 long term...much like Middlebury college.

Army put out many of their B side players....despite that the game still ended up 68-0 to Army. It's not so challenging refereeing these types of game but I used it to practice counting my penalties...of which there were only 11 (including free kicks). Women also seem to tend to be much more receptive to preventative talk...but this might just be because the game is slower such that the referee can be one step ahead of the players to prevent penalties.

Army: 11 Tries, 5 Conversions, 1 Penalty (68)

Hamilton College: 0

Oh, I did a youtube search for Hamilton rugby and this came up. Just humorous....rugby's still a party game.
