OP Girls win the RUGBYNY State Championship
OP finished the regular season 12-0 and added a NYs Championship to their Battle for the Border 7's and DII Nationals Championships
OP's defense was on full display all weekend. On Saturday they held the hard hitting City Honors team and their powerful pack to 10 points en route to a 40-10 win. It took a herculean effort that left the team physically and emotionally drained heading into Sunday's finals at Sienna College. Their opponents, Corning had an electric backline and scored 38 points in their previous meeting (OP 50-38 Corning.) The OP girls started slow but showed heart and incredible fortitude as Corning had nearly all the possession during the first half but OP held them to 12 points behind a great team defensive performance that featured big tackle after big tackle and 2 goal line stands. Annie Henrich's twisting and turning highlight reel 60m try sparked the team's offense to life. She and Senior Co- Captain Ella Nenoff each scored twice and Nenoff added 1 conversion and a penalty kick to bring the final score to OP 25 -10 Corning.
