Jay Taft of the Rockford Register Star covers college sports for the newspaper and today he wrote this following item in his daily column:

Led by Chase Cain (Jefferson), the Eastern Illinois women’s rugby team extended its winning streak to 19 games by opening 3 - 0 with a trio of blowout victories.

Cain leads the team with 37 tackles and she set a school record with five steals (similar to a fumble recovery) during the team’s 61 - 5 win over Iowa State on Saturday. EIU has also knocked off Ball State 90 - 0 and Grand Valley State 35 - 0 this season.

Emily Harrison (Jefferson), with an assist, four tackles and a steal on the year, also has an important role on the team as the starting lock.
