Sunday October 3, 2021
Many Tri-State teams are still getting their rosters filled and are being allowed to participate by their school. Thank you to the Club Sport Directors and student administrators for working to make this season happen for the rugby players.
This past weekend saw the Fairfield University Women bounce back with a convincing win at U. at Albany. Stony Brook University Women proved much more competitive in their match up with an ever improving Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as the Engineers won 53-10.
In a close one at SUNY-New Paltz the hosts, New Paltz Women, may have gone down but in the process they earned 2 bonus points, one for losing by less than 7 and one for scoring 4 tries – Hofstra University Women 25 at SUNY-New Paltz Women 20.
Another close game was the RPI Men edging to victory over Seton Hall University Men. With WPU out of the picture and there only being the 4 teams in Division II results in the regular season will determine the seeding for the Conference Championship and all 4 teams advance. (N1 v N4 and N2 v N3).
In the Central Division, Hofstra Men finished with a 10 point margin over SUNY-Maritime College 34-24 while Vassar defeated SUNY-New Paltz 58-10. Oneonta Men had to forfeit against Drew and Montclair State had a bye and will be better prepared for next week.
In all twelve (12) games were played this weekend with 4 forfeits. Of those forfeits Columbia Women did play versus Rutgers Women scoring 50 points and Siena Women tied 10-10 with Montclair Women but then didn’t have enough players to finish the game.
