2017 TRU Women’s DII Champion
In the first ever TRU Women’s DII Championship, four teams faced off over two days. On day one the hosts, Tulsa swept DARC 64-0. Tulsa rejoined the TRU after a year away and stamped their place in the Sunday final with this win. DARC is in their first year and should be incredibly proud of their season.
The second match on Saturday pitted the Austin Valkyries second side against the Griffins. Austin defeated the Griffins 36-19 to solidify their spot in the final.
Sunday brought an intense and blistering match as the Valkyries edged Tulsa 29-27 with a last second try. Austin goes down in the history books as the first ever TRU Women’s DII Champion.
