GRR: College Men
Army tries to bounce back from losing to Iona by traveling to Kutztown this weekend.
It’s a huge game for both as each team is in with a shot at the Rugby East title.
American International College played a rare Thursday night game ahead of their Homecoming Weekend, and defeated ECRC rivals UConn 87-16.
The game was AIC’s because they were stronger in the scrum, stole a large percentage of the UConn’s lineouts, and were just too darned fast.
The ACRC Bowl Series has confirmed that Kutztown will play Indiana in a high-level clash November 21 at the Rugby Athletic Center in Charlotte, NC.
Asked to characterize Sean Hardiman’s game at scrumhalf for Iona in their victory over Army this past weekend, Iona Head Coach Bruce McLane was succinct - “he played the best game of his life.”
Good timing for Hardiman, as he did so against a formidable opponent. Hardiman himself said his day, and the team’s day, came down to a lot of self-belief.
With an impressive 66-0 shut out of Troy University, the University of Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns are now in position to challenge for the Deep South conference title.
"We are finally getting better chemistry within the team," said Cajun player Rod Blouin. "We're starting to play more for each other."
