WOMEN’S RUGBY – Season 2024-25 dates from NCR – Angela Smarto
To: All Tri-State Conference Women’s Teams
From: Tony Brown, TS Director
Re: Forwarded message from Angela Smarto, NCR Women’s Director
Re: 2024-25 Season
The message below is from Angela Smarto regarding dates for the upcoming Rugby Season/Academic Year, 2024-25.
Hey gang,
Hope everyone is enjoying the start of summer. Many of you are in a great place looking into next season and the information below should help fill in some gaps – if you have not done so, please forward Kelsea and I your schedules by June 15th. If you cannot meet that deadline, please touch base and let us know your situation. Massive shout out to Kelsea who has been working on booking regional locations since February – I for one am very excited for some new locations. Feel free to forward this information directly to your clubs so they can be aware of what’s ahead this upcoming season.
Fall 15s: Locations for AQ conference champions will be confirmed later in the summer once we have reviewed all schedules and confirmed all conference pathways. We’re adding multiple conferences to all divisions, so assume some changes to accomodate for new members. Please get us your conference schedules by June 15th if you haven’t sent it along already. If you want any help with scheduling solutions, please let myself or Kelsea know.
All Star 7s: New location this year so adjust your budgets accordingly. Conference points of contact are due to us no later than 8/1 – you can just email them to me for now before we dive into more official planning. Due to our growing interest in the event and new membership, we are looking at different structures to accomodate all teams. Conferences to confirm after 8/1 will not be guaranteed space in the tournament. Hotel blocks are in progress.
Spring 7s: Location for CRC 2025 is not confirmed yet, but NCR is looking to extend the contract in Maryland at this time. Over the summer we will be looking at adjusting pathways to include a regional model rather than simply a strict conference model for AQ tournaments – more info to come this idea is in infancy. We will also be looking to make schedule adjustments which may alter competition days. The tournament will continue to be a 16 team knockout style competition with 4 games spread out over 2 days.

Fairfield University – Men’s 7s Champions
For Immediate Release
College Rugby – Men
Saturday April 6, 2024
Hempstead, NY
Tri-State 7s Winners are Fairfield University
The departure of Marist College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from the Division II ranks of the Tri-State Conference certainly left a void in the competition. Marist the winners in 2022 and 2023 had been preceded by William Paterson University who had developed a very strong 7s program that had fared well at Nationals. But with WPU no longer fielding a team and Marist gone the door was open for a new champion.
The semifinals saw the 3 pool winners advance and then one of the 3 second placed teams would join them to make the 4 playoff teams.
In Pool A Hofstra University, the host for the tournament, went 3-0 and headed that pool as the Pride saw off challenges from Molloy College, Seton Hall University and SUNY-New Paltz B. The latter agreed to fill in after Bard College dropped out.
In Pool B it was Vassar College that took first place as they defeated Drew University, Montclair State and SUNY-Maritime College. Drew University went 2-1 and would hope to get through as the second best team.
In Pool C the Fairfield University team defeated USMMA, Kings Point as well as SUNY-New Paltz A and Seton Hall University B. SUNY-Oneonta dropped out and Seton hall B filled that slot.
It was Seton Hall University from Pool A that advanced to join those 3 Pool winners and it made for a couple of very compelling semifinals.
Fairfield outmaneuvered Seton Hall to the tune of 29-19 but the scoreline definitely reflected well on the credibility of Seton Hall to be in the playoffs. Meanwhile Vassar College came from behind to nip Hofstra University right at the end in a thriller 24-21.
The final saw Vassar dominate the first half in terms of territory but at the final whistle it was Fairfield who had added solid attack to their staunch defense and the Stags took the title, 19-5.
Congratulations to Fairfield University on their success and thanks to Hofstra for hosting the championship.

Lions Threepeat as 7s Champions in Tri-State & Siena College wins Small College title.
Division II – Columbia defeat Fairfield
While the end result was the same as the previous 2 years, with Columbia University taking the Tri-State 7s title, the road to that victory was very different. The Tri-State divided the 10 Division II teams into 2 pools of 5 with the top 2 teams from each pool advancing to the semifinals.
In pool play Columbia started as expected but then in game 3 stumbled against Stony Brook University losing 10-5 to the hosts. It was nip and tuck as Marist College certainly looked capable of going undefeated in pool play having already beaten Stony Brook 12-5. But the Lions of Columbia took care of business beating Marist and won the pool although both teams had the same 3-1 record.
In Pool B it was last year’s runner-up Fairfield University who took the honors going 5-0 and second place went to The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) who went 4-1 with wins over Vassar, Montclair State and Rutgers.
Columbia fell behind in their semifinal but rallied to beat TCNJ 19-17 and on the other side of the draw Fairfield dispatched Marist 24-10.
In the Championship game Columbia shut out Fairfield 22-0 and has the opportunity to play at the CRC 7s.
Small College – Siena defeat Hofstra
The Tri-State Small College Division had 6 teams and given the distances traveled it was felt that 1 pool with everyone playing each other and then a final between the top 2 would make for an excellent competition. Teams were allowed extended rosters. Of the 6 teams 3 emerged as clear contenders with those being Drew, Hofstra and Siena. Drew decided to withdraw despite being 3-1 so the Hofstra game was a forfeit.
Hofstra had beaten Siena 10-7 in pool play and the final would see a rematch. It was close yet again but Siena prevailed 17-15.
Congratulations to all the teams present for a full day of Rugby 7s.
Many thanks to Stony Brook University for hosting the event and good luck to Columbia, Siena and Fairfield in their bid to play at the CRC event at the end of the month.
