All spring sports team trips were completed by early March, before health precautions canceled collegiate sports and curtailed most travel.
UMW softball was just one team that traveled over spring break. The Eagles played seven games in Tucson, Arizona.
Spring break, Feb. 29-March 8, didn’t mean a lull in the action for spring sports.
While other UMW students did service projects, road-tripped with friends, caught up on studies, or just hung out at home, many Eagles athletes spent the weeklong break competing in far-flung places.
The tennis teams traveled south and west – men to the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida, and the women to Chapman University in Orange, California, and Caltech in Pasadena, California.
The softball team played seven games against five opponents in Tucson, Arizona. And men’s golf started the season at the Callaway Gardens Collegiate Invitational in Pine Mountain, Georgia.
In club sports, UMW Rugby and the UMW Center for International Education teamed up for travel. While in Spain, the club played games against Barcelona and Cornellá. In France, they practiced under Colomiers RFC coaching staff and attended a professional game between Colomiers and Aix-en-Provence RFC.
