Quite the season the Wolves had, with titles battled for, championships that were held at home, new faces that joined the teams and outcomes that were never expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Men\u2019s Rugby entered fall with a lot of seniors gone, first-years and transfers and the team having to step up to fill any gaps \u2014 this didn\u2019t seem to have fazed the team, with everyone working cohesively to find a way to win. The team showed for many exciting games for the spectators and proved themselves to be a tight-knit squad. Their overall record was 5-1, losing their final game during the Championship match against Oregon Institute of Technology. Though Men\u2019s Rugby wasn\u2019t able to bring home the Championship, they did not disappoint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Women\u2019s Club Soccer came into this season with high expectations and a large target on their backs \u2014 being the 2018 Small School Division Champions. The season began with the hardest team in their league, University of Oregon &#8211; Gold, a fresh team with a solid mix of returners and new additions. Throughout their season, they were unable to find a way to bring home wins, with consecutive ties that finished each match. Before their season was complete, they headed down to Texas where they played in the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association tournament \u2014 where they played against schools five times larger than them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Men\u2019s Club Soccer had a filling season \u2014 starting off on the wrong foot, but finished strong on the right, to bring home a championship from the Cascade Collegiate Soccer League 2nd Division, or CCSL. The team continued to stay positive all season long, which in turn helped them finish on a high note. Men\u2019s Club Soccer held their defense tight and organized, while their offense took advantage of multiple plays to finish the ball in their opponents net.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, these teams\u2019 seasons are done, but they will have more games come winter. Along with them: Women\u2019s Rugby, Men\u2019s Basketball, Men\u2019s Lacrosse and Rock Climbing. The Dance Team will also be performing at the Varsity Men\u2019s Basketball home games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stay tuned come this winter for the Club Sports schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the author at <a href=\"mailto:hgreene18@wou.edu\">hgreene18@wou.edu<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hannah Greene\u00a0 |\u00a0 Sports Editor The trees no longer have leaves, the ground has been covered by drops of rain and specks of snow \u2014 the time for fall Club Sports has come to a close.
