Penn State Men’s Rugby

[CVLion]

Despite being a non-scholarship program, the PSU men’s team came within a point of winning the D1 collegiate national championship last night in Houston.

The #2 Nittany Lions fought hard but were edged out by #1 St. Bonaventure, 19-18.

I would post a link, but unfortunately I’m not finding an article covering the match. I was happy to be able to watch my nephew and his teammates compete via a YouTube livestream.

Very proud of the season and the great efforts of these young men!

Way to go, Ruggers!

I remember a pin from my undergraduate days: "It takes leather balls to play rugby."

Congrats to the team.
