This past weekend, the Eagles dominated Australia 45-22 to win the Marriott London Sevens Cup final and claim win their first World Rugby HSBC Sevens World Series title.

After securing the Big Green its first Ivy League championship in three years this past fall, it was fitting for the 2014 men’s soccer team to produce one of the highest numbers of athletes to sign professional contracts in recent program history. \n Over the past couple of months, Stefan Defregger ’15, Gabe Hoffman-Johnson ’14 and Colin Heffron ’15 signed contracts to play for American clubs in the United Soccer League, recognized as the third division league by the United States Soccer Federation. \n “I think there’s a consistent trait in all the guys, that idea that they do what the coaches ask them to do, which is a big first thing because we ask a lot of them,” men’s soccer head coach Chad Riley said.

Baseball drops two straight to Columbia to lose Ivy League Championship Series
