Men's rugby faces Brown

|

Last Saturday, on a wet field in drizzling rain at the University of Connecticut, the Dartmouth Rugby Football Club proved their strength by outing their opponents in a 13-10 win. The UConn Huskies seemed to be a formidable group to beat, going into the game at 1-0 after beating Boston University in their previous game 16-12 and holding last year's second place title in the Eastern League. Twelve of last year's Husky players are one this year's team, which was chosen as the pre-season favorite by the New England Collegiate Rugby Union. In the first half of the game, the Huskies looked as though they had the upper hand, winning most of the lineouts and giving their backs a lot of great balls to run.
