Women's Army Rugby (W.A.R.)
was established in 2002 by the hard work of our first Team Captain,
Kafi Joseph, an '03 graduate who has recently returned to help coach
the team.
W.A.R.
received the official sanction to become an Army Club sport when,
despite three feet of snow on the ground, the newly formed team
played a scrimmage to demonstrate their determination to compete at
the intercollegiate level. The Charter was signed immediately.
In it's first competitive season, W.A.R. won the MET-NY
Championship, defeating the previous six-time champions in the
process. W.A.R's early accomplishments also include beating Navy 31
to 3 (2004), placing 3rd at the DC Cherry Blossom Tournament, and
sending 6 ruggers to the NERFU U-23 team tryouts and had a player
selected for the U-19 development camp. W.A.R has continued to
pursue excellence in its trips to Ireland, where the team took on
the Women's Irish Defense Forces team, and to San Diego, where W.A.R.
finished first in the Champagne Classic.
