Hopkins Girls Varsity Rugby Team Defeats Edina in Mud Bowl

The Hopkins Varsity Girls Rugby Team ended their regular season on May 22 with a sound 27-5 win over Edina at Edina's home pitch.  Scoring trys for Hopkins were Aislinn Cornell, Dani Sommerdorf, Gretta Bolstad, Amy Sherer, and Ellie Fromstein.  The game was coined "Mud Bowl" given the rain and muddy conditions (see photos).
