Blood, sweat and lace: Women's Rugby prom dress game

Being in dresses had no obvious affect on the way the teams played. Their speed, strength, agility and aggression were still there beneath the layers of fabric.
Lauren Jeffries, a prospective Guilford student in the crowd, was particularly impressed with the intensity of the game.
"It's amazing that that girl is showing cleavage and is still kicking ass," Jeffries said.
Senior and team captain, Beth Isle, who was ruthless in her tackles, anticipated the carnage.
"(UNCG is) the meanest, dirtiest team we play," said Isle. "(Everyone is focused on) just ripping the dresses off and destroying."
Her prediction of dress destruction was accurate.
First-year Elizabeth Schroder ran plays, with a train of torn fabric flowing behind her, and one UNCG player's dress puddled around her legs in shreds.
By the end of the game, everyone walked off the field muddy and drenched in sweat, with their tattered dresses trailing.
"I've been to other games and they were not like this" said first-year Je'lissa Fowler.
"I just have one word to describe this," Fowler said, "Hardcore!"
