If you asked the Marquette women’s club rugby team before the season whether they thought they would be ranked third in the country playing in the championships, the answer probably would be no.
“None of us thought that we would be here, none of us thought we would be competing nationally, we have to be ready to go out there and play our game,” Evelyn Mitchell said.
The team, which consists of 42 girls ranging from first-year students to seniors, went undefeated and shutout every team they faced this season.
“We showed up to our first game scared, we thought we were going to lose and we ended up defeating LaCrosse and that was the only regular season game that we got scored on,” Evelyn Mitchell, senior in the College of Health Sciences, said.
