DI Women’s Team

ORSU Women’s Division I Rugby Team in Portland Oregon

ORSU Women+ will be competing in a PNRFU Division 1 and Division 2 Hybrid Spring Season with games against Seattle, The Mudhens, and Tacoma.

Women’s Rugby at ORSU is alive and growing fast! The team aims to coach and grow players of all levels. Looking to become an elite player and compete at the D1 level? Want to be more of a social player and play a game of rugby on Saturdays? You can do either with ORSU! We’re proud to be one of the only women’s programs in the Northwest who can offer multiple sides for players looking to play rugby at any level.

Come out for a practice and learn more about this great game! All you need for practice is some cleats (soccer cleats work great!), athletic clothes, and eventually a mouth guard.

We also have hired two new coaches for the 2023 Spring season.
