This past weekend the DRFC travelled to Quincy, Massachusetts to face off against Brown University in a triple header featuring first, second, and developmental sides. Unfortunately, the DRFC, despite hard fought matches, were unable to secure victory on the day. The final scores of the three matches are as follows: Granite, 52-7, Bruisers, 47-0, and Developmental, 14-0.
The DRFC’s sole try was scored by Vice Captain Hudson Chiow ‘28, who powered over the Brown tryline after powerful carries brought the Big Green deep into opposition territory. Ethan Knight Gr. added the extras.
The match against Brown brought with it the end of the DRFC’s regular season, as well as the Bruiser and Developmental squads’ campaigns. This past fall season has been one of the DRFC’s most successful, featuring wins against new opponents like Notre Dame, and UCLA, as well as a number 2 finish in both the NCR Liberty Conference and Scholars Cup. Over the course of the season the Big Green earned a record of 8-1, 5-1 in the Liberty Conference, scored 335 points, and amassed a point differential of 175 points.
Looking forward, the DRFC moves into the postseason with a playoff match against Kutztown University. The match will be played at the Mystic River Rugby Club in Malden, Massachusetts (1087 Main St, Malden, MA 02148) this coming Saturday, November 14th, and kick-off at 3:00 PM EST. Should the Big Green win, they will advance to the quarterfinals and face off against St.Bonaventure University at the same location.
Tickets for the match can be purchased via this link or at the gate on gameday, and it will be streamed on NCRTV .
Go Big Green!
