Scores for girls and women’s rugby games that occur in the U.S. — or overseas, if involving U.S.-based players — from Friday-Sunday, March 29-31. Since the lineup is a little light in number due to the holiday + Tropical 7s, I added notes to games that have playoff implications or other significance. Send updates to Jackie Finlan.
