WEST CHESTER, Pennsylvania – The American International College women's rugby team made the most of its trip to the Keystone State, crushing rival West Chester University 66-8 in National Intercollegiate Rugby Association Division II action on Friday, September 19.

AIC is now 2-1 on the year and 1-0 in NIRA DII.

Haley Thompson touched down AIC's first try just two minutes into the contest, with Camryn Henderson converting for a 7-0 lead. Another two minutes elapsed, and AIC scored again, as Sheila Sarmiento put the ball home over the line.

The Rams did respond with a try in the seventh minute, but Henderson answered back in the ninth with a try and conversion to extend the lead to 19-5.

From there, AIC rolled; SaTya Miller and Naomi Dodd scored four minutes apart just after the midpoint of the half, and Kiyanah Edwards tacked one on late. Henderson converted all three, giving AIC a 40-5 edge at the break.

AIC did not slow down in the second half, with Morgan Schechter scoring right off the hop, and Mariah Cuarenta striking in the 46th minute, with Henderson making her final conversion of the game.

After a Rams penalty kick, the last 14 points came on the second and third tries in a hat trick for Edwards; Venise Sanft made both conversions for the 66-8 final.
