MALDEN, MA – The Mystics came out firing for this important game against Middlesex, but couldn’t maintain any kind of momentum.

A Dogfight in Canton Ends in a Draw
CANTON, MA – The Mystics came out firing against the Wolfhounds in a sunny Canton on Saturday afternoon, but struggled to convert their aggression and possession into points. The small field and slightly wet conditions underfoot meant that both sides managed very disruptive defensive play, but couldn’t put too much offense together.
A Muddy Win for the Mystics
NEW HAVEN, CT – The Mystics managed to put together some decent rugby in the second half to pull away from New Haven in muddy conditions. The first half saw the Mystics open the scoring with two unconverted tries from Rob Howes, but New Haven got some momentum from two tries of their own to take a 12-10 lead into half time. The New Haven lead could have been larger, but the referee was unsighted for a maul where it looked like New Haven might have gotten over the line, and New Haven received a scrum rather than a try.
