Dartmouth Rugby Takes on Queens and McGill in Preseason Canada Tour
September 6, 2012—Dartmouth Rugby kicked off its preseason this past weekend with a trip to Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. There the Big Green took on Queens as well as traditional cross-border rivals McGill University. The weekend served as an excellent learning experience for a young Dartmouth side under a new coaching staff. Even though the results were not as desired, Captain Michael Burbank ’13 felt the team showed “good defense, good intensity, and finished strong,” and he came out of the weekend optimistic about the upcoming Ivy season.
Brown Bears Defeat Univ of Albany

Providence turned on a hot and sunny day for this pre-season clash between Brown University and University of Albany. The playing surface at Brown was impeccable as usual with clearly (and correctly) marked lines and full size goal posts.
