Sitting here on a Sunday night, realized it’s been a great womens’ sport weekend.  On Friday, caught the USA Rugby Womens’ Premiere League championship series.  Saw a local team (DC Furies!) and a team with former teammates (Glendale Raptors), and some great rugby play.

Saturday morning, my daughter’s soccer team finished out their season with an exhibition game – well matched teams, and LOVED seeing my daughter going head to head defending a guy we’ve known since they were both much younger.  When that competitive drive kicks in with her, nobody is getting past her without a fight.  That’s something I love to see, that fire in the belly transformed into energy to power her long legs.

Sunday morning, I got up and caught the Rhonda Rousey results.  Surprising result – caught the replay later in the day.  Kudos to both Holms for the win, and Rousey for taking the hits she did.  That the undefeated champ met her match means all kinds of good things for interest in womens’ UFC.

And now Sunday evening, I’m watching the Glendale Raptors defend their WPL title.  A UMBC alum is on the pitch, as is someone I’ve played with for Severn River.

Oh, I did watch the Raven’s game while I was on the treadmill at the gym.  The womens’ sports stuff was much more inspiring….
