Brown v Penn State
NCR Quarter Finals
11/20/21

“One and Done” tournament formats bring drama and ultimately disappointment to all but the ultimate winner of the competition. Yesterday Brown was eliminated from National Collegiate Rugby’s fall season playoffs, but not before the Bear squad through superb team work and a gigantic defensive effort had led Penn State from the 10th to the 74th minute of the match.

Brown v UPenn
10/30/21
 

The Bears made their longest road trip of the season down to Philadelphia to take on the Quakers for what proved to be a long day for the home side.  The game today was played on a multi-sport turf field riddled with lines making it difficult to find one’s place on the field...BUT this picture speaks to the essence of rugby.  Fight for the win on the field, shake hands and show respect for the opposition off the field.

Brown v Yale
10/9/21

If you play the lottery don’t forget number 38. Brown rugby enjoyed the symmetry of scoring 38 first half points and matching that score with 38 second half points. Brown overwhelmed the Bulldogs 76-3!

Brown v Fordham
NCR Play In Game
11/13/21

In spite of our 38-14 defeat of Fordham University on September 11 and our defeat of Dartmouth last weekend, the powers that be of National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) determined Brown had to win a “play in” game in order to qualify for the NCR final eight, so today was our opportunity to prove our season to date was no “fluke”.

Brown v Cornell
10/23/21
 

Cornell came to Brown for an Ivy League fixture, but Cornell has opted out of the League competition this season.
