ALFRED, NY -- The Alfred University women's rugby team celebrated six seniors in a technical forfeit win over Le Moyne College on Sunday afternoon.

The Saxons (4-0, 4-0 UNYCRC) were credited with a 30-0 win, but still played rugby Xs to get experience under their belts. The match ended with a big 71-5 win for the home side.

"What a show our team put on for the fans today," Head Coach Dr. Nicole Bernsen said. "Outstanding leadership from our seniors paved the way for everyone to shine up and down the pitch. We're excited to keep the momentum rolling into our first ever conference semi-final!

Hailey Reome (Galway, NY/Galway) opened the scoring with her lone try of the match early on. Samantha Stock (Ellicottville, NY/Ellicottville Central) added on with the next two tries for Alfred University, opening up a big advantage before Le Moyne's lone score of the afternoon.

Ava Webber (Cobleskill, NY/Cobleskill-Richmondville) would break through before the end of the first half to score, before a barrage of scoring took place in the second half. Stock scored her third of the match, with Ellie Prestridge (Bethel, VT/White River Valley) and Jordayn Williams (Palmdale, CA/Quartz Hill) beating players to the try zone shortly after.

Zia Oellig (Colorado Springs, CO/Fountain Valley School of Colorado) would also get a try to go before Prestridge scored two more times and Williams wrapped up the match with another try as well. In addition, Prestridge would kick eight conversions through the uprights to close out the rugby Xs victory.

Prior to first kick, the Saxons celebrated six seniors, including the aforementioned Stock, Oellig, and Webber. Also being celebrated on senior day was Anna DuBois (Sodus, NY/Sodus), Haven K. E. Sevenish (Randolph, NY/Randolph), and KylieJo Van Patten (Rexford, NY/Niskayuna).
