Rugby Northeast is a collegiate rugby conference operating in the northeastern United States, particularly covering New England and surrounding states. It currently supports 21 women’s Division III teams and a number of men’s and women’s club teams. The mission of the conference includes organizing regular season schedules, registering teams, and providing a governance structure for its member institutions.
The Rugby Northeast season is coming to a close, and it may be that the league was decided way back on September 19.
It was then tat Bentley defeated UMass-Lowell 54-24. Since then, both have been undefeated, and one wonders of Lowell would like another crack at the league leaders.
It was crossover weekend for the Northeast DI women’s colleges, which produced one thing: big scores. These games do not impact standings, and good thing, because Norwich, Army and American International College outscored their opponents by a combined 348-5.
Down 17-8 at the half, American International College’s forwards surged in the second half, dotting down four tries to overtake Army 32-29. The teams were both looking for their first win within the Northeast's DI Western Division.
Norwich banked its first win of the DI Northeast Women’s Rugby Conference (NWRC) season, taking down Army 39-5 (0-1) at West Point. The Vermont Cadets improved to 4-0 all-time against the New York Cadets.
