Liberty Rugby Conference (LRC)

The Liberty Rugby Conference (LRC) is a collegiate men’s rugby union league that brings together universities primarily from the northeastern United States, including schools in Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

Operating under the umbrella of National Collegiate Rugby (NCR), the conference fields teams across multiple divisions — chiefly D1, D1AA, and D2, with each conference sending teams to NCR's national playoff.

Liberty NCR D1 Ramps Up Now

The Liberty Conference in NCR D1 kicked off last week with just the one game but now with three matches on the slate.

Coming into this weekend Fordham is 1-0 after a nicely-taken win over AIC.

"We knew it will be a very physical game," said Fordham Head Coach Federico Rienhardt. "We worked hard and stayed connected in all game."

NCR D1AA Playoff Teams Decided

Texas A&M defeated Sam Houston State 34-24 to win the Lonestar Conference, but both of those teams are already in the NCR playoffs.

The victory for Texas A&M, however, ensured them a week off before the quarterfinals on November 22.

Babson had come in having upset previously unbeaten Northeastern, a team that had defeated BC. But that's why they play the game. Boston College's attack has been building nicely and they opened up an early lead.
