PROVIDENCE, R.I. – It was a windy day in Providence as the Brown Bears hosted the Brown 7s rugby tournament at Berylson Family Fields. The Bears boasted an A and B squad in the tournament, with the A squad going undefeated and winning the tournament. They defeated Roger Williams, Northeastern, University of New Haven and American International College on the way to the tournament victory.

Genie Dickens led the scoring with 38 total points on the day, executing on 14 conversions. Olivia Baptiste scored the most tries with six for a total of 30 points. Nikki Lynch scored five tries on the day, while Lily Nowak and Akilah Cathey added three tries apiece during the Bears' successful tournament.

"It was a great day for the squad, both teams got valuable minutes and showed growth throughout the day," said Kathleen Flores women's rugby head coach Rosalind Chou. "Really standout performances from a number of athletes today, Tarn Reilly, Sadie Wilson, and Tate Muller on the Brunos side, and both Sorensen nominees, Nikki Lynch and Akilah Cathey really led the team in some difficult moments, especially in the final. We are going to take a few days of rest and then prepare for more excellent competition at Crimson 7s."
