Satiated Beavers 2007 Recap

The 2007 Satiated Beavers began their summer campaign in impressive style Saturday at the Lone Star Classic 7's Tournament in Dallas, TX. Sending two squads into a highly competitive women's field -- 10 teams participated this year -- the "Beaver One" squad earned a 2nd place finish while the "Beaver All" squad showed consistent improvement throughout the day. The Beavers played beautiful 7's against a very fit Texas A&M Aggie team, fresh off their top-10 finish in collegiate nationals, in a hard-fought final.

Your Beaver Coaching Staff is most pleased with our newcomers' performances on the "Beaver All" social side, including rugby rookie Alexis and 7's/Beaver rookies Jecca, Shalynn, Mary & Jen DeGroot.

Veteran Valkyrie Angela Adams made her return to the pitch and tested the 7's waters for the first time, while Lisa "Mad Dog" Houy donned the Beaver orange on the competitive side. Joining Mad Dog Houy on the near-champion Beaver Ones were 7's rookie Rachel Kraft as well as a strong returning Beaver class of Ros, Tiff, 2-Shay, Wendy, Steph/Kitty, Karla, Bags & Heidi.
Immediately following the men's final, Wendy Young organized a much-loved Dallas tradition, the Debutante Ball. Outfits ranged from simply a tuxedo shirt to
bridesmaid and 8th grade school dresses. With a good-humored sir the deb's played 20 minutes of spirited 15's rugby, sort of, with a final score of 10-10.

We look forward to keeping the Deb Ball tradition alive, and to a successful Beaver season, on tour & here at home.
Thanks to all, Heidi & Bags
