Well, our first tournament came and went this past weekend, and it’s easy to see the team has improved considerably. After a rough opening match against the University of Florida, the Tide came back to defeat Orlando 7-6. The win was followed by a rematch with FAU. Two weeks ago, the Owls tore the Riptide apart, but this match would not be so easy for FAU as the Tide came out confident and focused, going into halftime down by only 3 points. Unfortunately, the lack of substitute options and a few rookie mistakes cost us a win. But rest assured that the Florida Rugby community as a whole now knows we are a not a team to take lightly.
