Temple Women's Rugby Football Club (TWRFC) was founded in 1995. The club grew from a team struggling to field 15 players each Saturday to a national powerhouse in a few years’ time. In 2004 the team advanced to MARFU playoffs for the first time in it's history and went on to win the USA Rugby DII National Championship. In 2005 they were crowned MARFU champions and fell just short of their second USA Rugby DII National Championship. The club has developed numerous select side players. Vanesha McGee, Elise Meyer, Emily Tunney and Angelia Marfsi were proud Owls before they represented the US internationally.

La Salle Women's Rugby (LSWR) was founded in 2002 by an intrepid group of young women. Since the fall of 2004 LSWR has advanced to the EPRU playoffs every year. In 2006 LSWR came in second place in the D-IV competition, earning promotion to D-III. In 2007 we repeated the feat by finishing second in D-III, earning the right to compete in the D-II competition. 2008/2009 saw the team reach new heights, as they qualified for the D-II USA Rugby National Playoffs, finishing top 12 in the country. LSWR members have successfully represented the club as part of the EPRU U23 team, MARFU U23 team, Atlantis 7s team and have been selected for All American Honors.
