After not being eligible to attend USA Rugby nationals last year, the Norwich women's rugby team was determined to go this year. 

Their determination paid off. The Cadets made it to the Final Four of the USA Rugby National Championships, held last weekend in Palo Alto, Calif.

With a successful 2009-10 season, the team went to the Sweet 16 in Florida last month.
The team beat Texas Tech on April 17 in Sanford, Fla, 15-10, in the first round of the USA Women's Rugby Collegiate Division II Tournament. The win sent the Cadets to the quarterfinals, where they were matched up against East Carolina University. Norwich won, 34-0.

With these two wins, the number-two seeded Cadets advanced to the Final Four, played April 30-May 1. They faced Washington State University in the semifinals.  
Washington State won the semifinal match, 15-5, ending Norwich's tournament hopes.
