Match Report Form for
Wheaton College Women (Wheaton College Women) vs. MIT Women (MIT Women)
27 September 2009

Location: H.E. Yelle Elementary SchoolNorton, MA
SCORE:
Wheaton College Women: 7
MIT Women: 7

Level of play was higher than D3 and I suspect both teams could play D2 if they 
had better numbers.

Great tackling and hard running both ways. Many hard hits and no major injuries 
to speak of. Excellent ball movement and great handling skills despite the weather.
Even more impressed with both teams fielding kicks cleanly during the frequent 
ping pong style of play. Both teams should be in the mix come the end of the season.

Wheaton scored a converted try early. MIT answered right back with a try and a 
nice long range conversion. 7-7 ten minutes in and it never changed. Wheaton 
missed 2 PK's, including one that ended the game, and MIT missed one a few minutes 
earlier.

Other than one yellow card for a bit of a mental lapse on Wheaton, play was clean 
throughout. Breakdowns were tough to manage at times as one team played a poaching 
style while the other preferred to ruck. There were infractions that went uncalled 
as both teams wore similar colors and it was tough to figure out which team did what.
