Rugby East Conference News
Walsh University logged the program’s first ever conference win Friday night, beating Belmont Abbey 25-10 on a rainy night in North Canton, Ohio.
The game was a lot closer than the score indicates. Belmont caused Walsh all sorts of trouble in the breakdowns and threatened constantly to overhaul the Cavaliers.
The Rugby East once again is the competitive gift that keeps on giving as we get exciting and interesting results, and always a few surprises.
After something of a line in the sand was officially drawn, all teams in the Big 10 Conference will be members in USA Rugby and pay the CRAA $20-per-play fee.
We’ve got a rundown of the results from Week 1 in the Rugby East.
Here are the results (home team listed second, GRR rankings included):
Mary Washington (D1A #14) 17 Army (D1A #7) 27
Navy (D1A #2) 41 St. Bonaventure (NCR #3) 23
Penn State (D1A #18) 22 Mount St. Mary’s (D1A #15) 26
Southern Virginia 14 Belmont Abbey (NCR #9) 31
Penn State Men’s Rugby opens up their new era with a game at Mount St. Mary’s and this is with new Head Coach Zac Mizell.
A star at Arkansas State, helping them to a D1A final in 2012, and later capped by the USA 7s team, Mizell has coached at Life, University of Texas, and, most recently, Adrian.
