2021 Spring Men Portal

Great closure to the 7s Collegiate Rugby Championships with the team beating James Madison University 29 to 15 for a 5th place finish out of 32 teams. As was noted all 4 of the teams ahead of us are full scholarship/IC programs! The lads taking to the pitch played their hearts out and put their all into each of the matches. One of the opposition players claimed that “you guys were the hardest hitting team we played”! Thanks to all the graduates who chose to stay with the team for an extra weekend to lead the way. Great foundation for the coming season! Very best, Coach

(Editor. Suspect we were also in a tough bracket, as two teams we beat in the prelims went on to win their respective 'loser's bracket', and the only team we lost to, Army, placed 3rd overall.)
