Cortland, NY

The men’s rugby club opened the 2009 New York State Rugby Conference - Premier Division I season with a rare Sunday match against the University of Buffalo. Always a difficult match-up for the Warriors, Cortland lost the contest 29-5 to a tough Buffalo squad. Despite the loss, Cortland is hoping for a successful 2009 campaign and welcomes Brockport to their field on Saturday, 9/19. Game time is set for 1pm on the rugby pitch. After the two game home stand, Cortland will hit the road for three consecutive games against Syracuse, Binghamton, and Albany, respectively. The Warriors finish the regular season at home on October 24th with a match against Premier Division I newcomer St. Bonaventure.

Rochester, NY

The SUNY Cortland men’s rugby club traveled to Rochester this past weekend to compete in the 2009 Collegiate Upstates Tournament. Cortland was put into a six team pool with the A-squads for Buffalo and Brockport, both NYSRC Premier D-I opponents. Cortland was shut out in both games, 17-0 to Buffalo and 29-0 to Brockport. Although disappointed with the performance, Cortland is already looking forward to a rematch with both squads in the season. Cortland will host three D-I contests in the fall: September 12th against Buffalo, September 19th against Brockport, and a late-season match against Premier D-I newcomer St. Bonaventure. All game times are scheduled for a 1pm start on the rugby field on the SUNY Cortland campus.

Cortland closed the season on a three game winning streak after losing their first four matches of the season. The club looks to rebound in the spring with a strong showing in tournament play.
