Ivy Fall Rugby Season Begins!

Dartmouth scores versus Princeton in the fall Ivy tournament

Saturday promises to be a full day of rugby with all the Ivy League mens and womens teams taking the field. A welcome shout-out to Cornell and Penn Women, who have just joined the Ivy Rugby Conference!

Last Saturday, Dartmouth hosted rival Harvard on the bucolic Brophy Field to kick off the 2012-13 Ivy Rugby 15s season. It proved to be an excellent start to the season for the Big Green, who did well on both sides of the ball, shutting out the Crimson while putting up 60 points on attack.

In other early season play, the First XV Brown played a solid match defeating a young Yale First XV on a sunny late summer Saturday afternoon. Brown’s Second XV, with 14 freshmen playing their first ever Brown Rugby, distinguished themselves with intensity as they competed after only four days of practice, but lost the match 15-5.
