For evidence that Colorado is the epicenter of American women’s rugby, rewind to last weekend. Trailing on the final play in extra time of the national championship, the Colorado Gray Wolves banded together for a driving maul to win on a dramatic walk-off try for the club’s record fifth title. The score lifted the Gray Wolves to a 31-27 victory over the Berkeley All Blues to capture the Legacy Cup in North Carolina, where the sport bridged the gap between the long-running Women’s Premier League (an amateur, pay-to-pay circuit) and forthcoming Women’s Elite Rugby, the first professional women’s rugby league in the U.S., debuting in 2025. Denali Graham and Emily Colesworthy hug after the Colorado Gray Wolves won the national title in a 31-27 victory over the All Blues in the Legacy Cup on Sept.
