The Santa Clara University Women's Rugby club is also known as BRUWS (Bronco Rugby Union Women's Side). This club provides an opportunity for women at SCU to get involved with the campus community and build lasting friendships. The team practices three times a week and competes in league matches during the Winter Quarter.

BRUWS players during the fall and spring qaurters volunteer their time with BAWSI girls program. The Bay Area Women's Sports Initiative is geared towards combating obesity and low self-esteem among pre-teenage girls in the bay area. This non-profit organization focuses on empowering young girls to become more physically active and encourage them to become female athletes as a way to build self-esteem. The BRUWS players participate in a coach-like capacity. We go to a elementary schools and lead girls through physical activities, and sports while trying to provide them with positive role models for female athletes. BRUWS rugby has participated in the program since 2007.
