About Our ClubImage of Marist Women's Rugby Logos

The Marist University Women’s Rugby Team is a competitive and welcoming team dedicated to building strength, teamwork, and community both on and off the field. The team is open to all skill levels, and there is NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE required. The team competes in both the fall and spring seasons; the fall season is 15s, and the spring season is 7s. The team operates under National Collegiate Rugby and competes in the Tri-State Women’s Collegiate Rugby Conference Division II club level in the Tri-State area. 

As a team, they are founded on the principles of sportsmanship, inclusivity, and resilience, and pride themselves on hard work, teamwork, and a deep love for the game of rugby. Coaches teach players the rugby basics such as passing, tackling, and gameplays, and foster a supportive environment where every player can grow, whether you’ve played before or are completely new to rugby. 

In the past few years, Marist Women’s Rugby has been ranked nationally. In fall 2024, they placed 3rd in the 15s Tri-State Conference. In spring 2025, placed 1st in the 7s Tri-State Conference. In spring 2025, placed 3rd at the National 7s Collegiate Rugby Championship. Every spring, they attend the Beast of the East tournament, and most recently, have received 2nd place two years in a row. Some of our players have been recognized as Tri-State All-Conference Players and named National Collegiate Rugby All-Americans.

Game days are usually on Sundays, and they tend to be all-day events. They also travel throughout the Tri-State area for away games or host home games on North Field. In the fall, they play 15s (late August - November). In the spring, they play 7s (February - May).
