The 2009 fall rugby season was a huge success as both the first and second side squads qualified for the Middle Atlantic Premier League Finals. The 1st side will open their run for the national championship by taking on this year’s undefeated, University of Delaware Blue Hens. This Mid-Atlantic semi-final will kick-off on March 27, 2010. On that same weekend, the Golden Bear’s 2nd side will play for the Premier League’s 2nd side championship. They take on the Midshipmen of Navy, in a highly anticipated rematch of their regular season contest, won by Navy 17-15.
This year we will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Kutztown University Men’s Rugby Club Team. This is your opportunity to come and celebrate the successes of the club over its 25-year history!
Marco Barnard, the most prolific player in the history of Kutztown Rugby has played his final game for the Golden Bears. While at Kutztown, he did what no other player before him had ever accomplished — he was awarded the distinction of representing the United States of America. Marco was selected and played for the United States National 7’sTeam. The USA Eagles.
Which team actually won a big game and allowed themselves to be moved up? Kutztown is one of them. Consider that KU has lost two games – 15-5 to Navy (currently #3) and 20-13 to Delaware (currently #1). They beat #4 Penn State. That is, at least, a team that’s competed at the highest level it can.
Kutztown University rode a tough defensive effort to defeat #4 Penn State 13-10 Saturday in Mid-Atlantic Premier League play.
KU, ranked #17 bu RugbyMag.com, needed a strong forward effort to handle the Nittany Lions and got it.
