WEST POINT, N.Y. – It was all smooth sailing on the shores of the Hudson River, as Army West Point women's rugby defeated Brown 60-0 at the Anderson Rugby Complex on Saturday afternoon.

Ball opened the second half with her third try of the game and Army found itself leading 46-0 with just over 30 minutes to play. Gabby Woenker added her first score of the game with 27 minutes left to extend the score to 53-0.
Ball closed out her strong game with her fourth try of the game with 11 minutes to play and give Army a 60-0 lead. Eisenhart was a perfect 3-3 in the second half on conversions.
With seven tries on the season, Ball leads the team and is two clear De Leon who now has five. After adding 10 points in the contest, Eisenhart continues to lead the team with 52 total points.
Coaches Corner – Head coach Jenn Salomon-Clayton
"I'm incredibly proud of how this team bounced back after last week's tough result. It was a really hard training week, and I have to give full credit to the team in how they showed up every single day, put their heads down and did the work. We accomplished every objective we set out to achieve today. Walking off the field with a victory at home feels amazing, and we're ready to get back at it on Monday as we head into a big week ahead."
