Women's rugby avenges loss to Penn State, captures Mid-Atlantic title

The women's rugby team was certain that Penn State, the defending national champions, had not spent the morning practicing in a parking lot.The morning before they took on the Nittany Lions, the Tigers found the practice field in terrible shape, so they ran their practice in the parking lot outside Pier 1 Imports in Roanoke, Va.Apparently, asphalt was good to Princeton, as the Tigers took home the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union regional championship, defeating Penn State and Navy in two gritty, hard-fought games in the rain and mud.Though all three teams had already qualified for the round of 16 in the national championship tournament, this was a battle for seeding, and the Tigers came out on top, earning the top seed in the East Region for the national championship tournament.In the first game of the weekend, Princeton took on Penn State, the defending national champion, in a grudge match.
