Here Comes NEC
It’s been a year of college teams moving up a division and testing their mettle - some have done well, while others have struggled, and certainly in the former category would be New England College, as the defending National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO) champions defeated #28 UMass 18-8 Saturday in ECRC conerence action.
Gamebreakers - DI College Men
Gamebreakers this weekend. Here’s a list of players who made an impact for their teams in Men’s DI rugby:
Aircraft Charter Solutions PoW - James Sheridan
Whenever Stony Brook wins a game - which happens a lot - you’re likely to hear one name mentioned every time.
James Sheridan, Jimmy Sheridan. However you say it, the Seawolves prop who sometimes fills in at lock is the rock up which Stony Brook rugby is built.
Alabama Races On
If all eyes aren’t on Alabama in the SCRC, maybe they should be, as the Tide moved to 3-0 in the West division with a convincing 53-19 victory over Florida this past weekend.
The victory, and the 3-0 start, are both a manifestation of increased confidence for the Alabama program after a somewhat surprising playoff run last season.
Army Winger gets Award
WEST POINT, NY – West Point men's rugby player David Huff was named Army Athletic Association Athlete of the Week for his two-try performance in Army's 46-36 defeat of Penn State this past weekend.
