A correction was made on April 18, 2024: An earlier version of this article misstated the score between the South Shore Sirens and Amoskeag Rugby as being 25-0 instead of the real score of 25-21. The author pulled the latest scores from Rugby Xplorer as of the publishing of this article. This has been corrected both here and on Rugby Xplorer.
