TS Women NSCRO Fall 2018 Schedules
Each team needs to have 2 individuals train as a referee as we embark on a program to develop referees. Given that one can earn $90 a game this could well be an opportunity that students should consider. Details of a coaching course will be publish this summer and it could well be that college age referees could cover games senior men’s and women’s club games on Saturdays in the Fall and/or High School games in the spring. If you are interested please contact the RRSNY.
William Paterson Repeat as 7s Champs
For Immediate Release
College Rugby
Poughgkeepsie, NY
Sunday April 29, 2018
The Vassar College Rugby teams hosted the Tri-State Conference Men’s 7s Championship this past Sunday at the Vassar College Farm.
It was a day that started cold and wet, improved a tad to cloudy and chilly before becoming very cold. So not exactly ideal conditions for 7s with the ball being very slippery and the surface the same. Games started at 9:00 am and the final kicked-off at 6:40 pm. In total there were 47 games and the referees of the Rugby Referees Society of New York kept the tournament on schedule doing a great job throughout..
William Paterson University Men’s Rugby went undefeated on the day at the and was the deserved winner after defeating the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the final 31-14. Full credit is due both teams after a tough long day of 7s action.
UW-Milwaukee came out of arguably the toughest group as they defeated Vassar College 21-7, Marist College 17-12, Montclair State University 36-5 and SUNY-Oneonta 45-5. Vassar and Marist are former 7s winners at the Tri-State Championship and Marist advanced to the semifinals on this weekend.
William Paterson University swept aside their group opponents Molloy B 56-0, SUNY-New Paltz 36-5, Marist B 57-0 and New Paltz B 35-0.
The Pioneers advance to the USA Rugby National 7s Championship on the weekend of May 19, 2018 and will represent the Conference for the second successive year. We wish them the very best of luck and hope they can bring back a National title to the Tri-State area.

Correction re: 7s

Just a quick note re: 7s this Spring. An e-mail went out that stated the Women’s 7s was at Vassar when in fact it is at FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY on Sunday April 22nd, 2018.
The Men’s 7s will be on April 29th, 2018 at Vassar.
