SEASON OPENER = WIN!

The Prairie Girls Rugby team kicked off the season Tuesday night in Cedar Falls, and the girls came ready to play! 🧡🖤

Prairie 29 – Cedar Rapids Washington 0

What a way to start the season! The girls played hard, stayed focused, and showed what they’ve been working on.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans, and our match against Ankeny was postponed due to weather. 🌧️

Now it’s back to work! 💪 The girls are getting ready for their next matches Monday in Central Springs.

The season is just getting started, and we’re excited to see this team continue to grow, compete, and build together!

Let’s go Prairie! 🧡🖤

Prairie Rugby Club End of Season Awards

What a great way to wrap up an incredible season! At our end-of-season banquet, we celebrated the hard work, dedication, and growth of our players by handing out our annual team awards.

These awards are especially meaningful because they were voted on by the players themselves, recognizing the teammates who made a lasting impact both on and off the field throughout the season.

Congratulations to all of our award winners and thank you to every player, coach, parent, and supporter who helped make this season a success. The growth of our program continues because of the commitment and culture built by this team.

Rugby is more than just a game—it's about teamwork, respect, discipline, and community. We're proud of everything our players accomplished this season and excited for what's ahead.

🧡🖤 Once a Hawk, Always a Hawk. 🖤🧡
