GRR: Long Island University
Long Island University has announced that it has hired Dee Nash as the new Head Coach for the women's rugby program.
This comes after LIU parted ways with Joe Rasmus in December.
Nash is a former Women's Premier League champion with the Colorado Gray Wolves and also has coached at Northeastern University and University of Denver.
Long Island University Women's Head Coach Joe Rasmus is no longer Head Coach of the program.
While Rasmus replied "no comment" to confirming he was out at the college, that wasn't exactly a denial when GRR attempted to confirm reports that he was out at LIU. This week LIU posted the Head Coach job as vacant and is seeking a replacement.
How big a deal was LIU’s defeat of Mount St. Mary’s in NIRA D1’s opening weekend?
Probably a very big deal. Long Island went into the game never having won a 15s game in the league, and came away with a shutout to the tune of 18-0.
New NCAA varsity program Frostburg State is now looking for a Head Coach, and returning NIRA team Long Island University has an assistant coach position to fill.
Dartmouth opened up their NIRA season with a comprehensive dismissal of Long Island University, beating the Sharks 92-5 Wednesday at Brophy Field in Hanover, NH.
