The Tri-State Rugby Conference was first set-up in 2012-13 when USA Rugby encouraged universities and colleges to form conferences rather than remain part of their Local Area Unions (LAUs). The majority of the collegiate teams that comprised the Metropolitan New York Rugby Union became part of the Tri-State Collegiate Rugby Conference.

Tri-State Men’s Teams 

The Conference has a Division III and a Developmental Division. Following regular season games the DIII winner will advance to the National Collegiate Division III postseason. 

Tri-State Women’s Teams 

The Conference has teams in Division II, the North and South Divisions, as well as a Division III. All have the opportunity to advance in Fall Championships run by National Collegiate Rugby.

Gamebreakers - Chris Coyne

As Sacred Heart has begun the Tri-State Men's DII Conference season 2-0, Chris Coyne has been at the heart of it.

The former BC High standout is a big, powerful prop who has set the tone in the scrums, and thumps bodies out of the way in the breakdown and running the ball. He's also the club president, carries a 3.8 GPA, and was all-conference last season.

Tri-State - Sacred Heart, RPI to 2-0

Sacred Heart moved to 2-0 in the Tri-State Conference North Division with a tough 26-22 win over Siena Sunday.

The result put Tri-State teams on notice as Siena is always a strong team in the competition, and Sacred Heart looked good in beating them.
