UMW Opens Up D1AA Final With A Try0:29

Is #1-ranked D1AA team Mary Washington ready to reload?

Yes, and ... well the other response isn't so much "No" as "It's Moot."

Most of UMW's top players last year when they won the were underclassmen. And then UMW's recruiting class has been impressive. You will hear about the fast and lanky Tamilore Awonase soon, and while UMW's overseas and North Carolina recruiting has been especially impressive, note that Daniel Trump - who was excellent as a freshman at Colorado State before leaving for financial reasons - is now at UMW.

This past weekend UMW got on the field against two different men's clubs - two lineups for the Mothers, too. Above is a taste of what's to come, as freshmen Seamus Brennan (#12), and Aidan Gallagher (#10), combine with senior scrumhalf Harry Masters to set up junior prop Aaron Bensink for a nice try.

There's more where that came from.
