Rugby East Conference News
In the final weekend of Rugby East action, Penn State defeated previously-unbeaten Kutztown, but KU did just enough to secure the conference championship.
Both teams scored three tries, with Penn State kicking three conversions and a penalty for 24 points, while all three of Kutztown’s tries went unconverted, leaving the score 24-15.
A couple of notable results were recorded over the past weekend, as two teams that have not won much at all this fall found themselves in the W column.
St. Bonaventure, 1-5 in the Rugby East, defeated #16 Notre Dame College 34-29. Buffalo, 0-6 in Rugby East, faced a longtime rival in Brockport, and won big, 101-17.
While the University of Buffalo has a big game this weekend against St. Bonavanture, they will be without one of their most electric players, as Ike Onwukanjo, along with his brother, Onye, will be in South Africa.
Kutztown University can clinch the Rugby East Conference if the Bears score four tries against Penn State next week, or lose by seven points or less, or tie, or win.
Of course, KU wants to win, but even a competitive loss will do the job.
Penn State scored a big Rugby East Conference victory with a 56-12 defeat of Iona Friday night in Happy Valley.
