GRR: Adrian College
Adrian, Mich.—Adrian College director of athletics Michael Duffy on Monday has named former Michigan State University club coach Benny Mateialona as the first head coach of the Bulldogs new men's rugby varsity program that is scheduled to debut in Fall 2021.
The addition of men’s and women’s rugby at Adrian College has an interesting twist or two.
First off, there’s the fact that the school decided to add the sport despite the COVID-19 shutdowns and the question-marks regarding whether colleges can even afford to have as many sports teams as they have. Adrian, instead of paring back, added a sport, and they chose rugby.
ADRIAN, Mich.(Adrian College Announcement) —Adrian College director of athletics Michael Duffy has announced that women’s rugby will be a varsity program that will be added next fall to the Bulldogs intercollegiate sports lineup, which is nearing the 50 mark.
