Girls Rugby Team Wins State Title
After dominating all year, the team finishes the season the best way possible.
The Menomonee Falls girls rugby team capped off a perfect season after defeating the Oak Creek Knights 8-0 Sunday to take home the team’s first Division II State Championship title in its three year history.
The conditions were wet, cold, and windy Sunday at Naga-Waukee Park in Delafield, but that didn’t stop the Indians from continuing on the tear they started back in August.
All the scoring for Falls occurred late in the second half as both teams struggled to produce on offense in the sloppy conditions.

The Indians dominated Division II play this season, going 8-0 overall. The Indians never trailed at any point of their matches this year, and only one team successfully scored against the girls this season.
