Postseason Latest Information

For Immediate Release

Tri-State Conference Collegiate Rugby

Friday November 8, 2024

It’s the business end of the season and here is where we stand with the Tri-State teams.

Fall 2024 regular season play finished 3 weeks ago and since then we have had quarterfinals and semifinals so this weekend, on Sunday November 10th, 2024 it’s Finals day.

MEN

The Tri-State Men came down to 4 teams as Hofstra University swept aside Vassar College 67-19 to avenge their Conference Final loss of last year. The Pride will take on the only unbeaten team left – USMMA, Kings Point.  USMMA disposed of a revitalized Montclair State University team 56-15. The final will take place at USMMA with kick-off at 12:00 noon.

National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) Postseason
The winner of the Final advances to the NCR Division III Champions Cup postseason and will host either Babson College or the College of the Holy Cross on Saturday November 16, 2024.
In the event that USMMA, Kings Point wins on Sunday they will host either Babson College or the College of the Holy Cross on Saturday November 16, 2024 and Hofstra University will advance to the NCR Challenge Competition and host either Nichols College or Bentley University for the opportunity to compete in the NCR Bowl.
 
If Hofstra wins on Sunday they will host either Babson College or the College of the Holy Cross on Saturday November 16, 2024 and Montclair State University will advance to the NCR Challenge Competition and host either Nichols College or Bentley University for the opportunity to compete in the NCR Bowl.
 
WOMEN
The semifinalists in the Women’s Division II were Vassar College, Marist College, Fairfield University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Marist ran Vassar right down to the wire falling by just 6 points 33-39 meanwhile Fairfield had no trouble with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute winning 68-0. So the final will take place at Vassar on Sunday at 12 pm with the hosts taking on Fairfield for the third time this year. Both Vassar and Fairfgield advance to the NCR Round of 16 with the winner going to the South Region in Culpeper, VA and the runner-up traveling to Canton, MA.
 
In Division III play SUNY-New Paltz upset Montclair State 40-38 before being well beaten by Siena College 64-5.
 
Siena will represent the Tri-State in the NCR Division III Championship.
 
We wish all the Tri-State teams the very best of luck in their NCR match-ups/

Conference Playoffs – Brackets set

The Fall 2024 Conference Playoffs are upon us and there are some great match-ups this weekend.

On the weekend of October 26 & 27, 2024

The women’s playoffs have been disrupted by the withdrawal of both Columbia University Women and Rutgers University Women. Injuries have played a part and led to byes for their opponents. Columbia were to play Marist College but it is the Red Foxes who will advance to the semifinals and face either the Vassar College Women or Stony Brook University Women. Vassar v SBU will take place at the Vassar Farm on Sunday 10/27/24 with a 12:00 noon kickoff.

Fairfield University Women also get a bye to the semifinals as Rutgers University has stepped aside. The Lady Stags will face the winner of the other quarterfinal between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Women and Montclair State University Women. RPI and MSU play on Saturday 10/26/24 at RPI.

In Division III the regular season winners Siena College will have a run out against Vassar College B but that is a friendly and Siena will face the winner of the Molloy College Women v SUNY-New Paltz Women. Molloy and New Paltz play this weekend at Molloy. The DIII Final will be at Siena on Saturday November 9th, 2024.

 

On the men’s side of the Conference USMMA, Kings Point has advanced to the semifinal, on account of a forfeit to Bard College Men, where they will face the winner of MSU Men and  SUNY-New Paltz Men. The latter two teams play at New Paltz this weekend.

On Sunday October 27th, 2024 the Vassar College Men take on Seton Hall University Men in a quarterfinal match-up, with the winner playing the victor of Hofstra University Men versus SUNY-Maritime Men.

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. 
 

November  2024

  • 15th – 17th: Regional Championships: All teams guaranteed two matches over the weekend

    • Division I – Quarterfinal Friday; Consolation Saturday; Semi Final Sunday 

      • East: Obetz Fortress, Columbus Ohio

      • West: CPKC Training Complex, Kansas City, MO

    • Division II & Small College – Round of 16 Saturday: Round of 8 and Consolation Sunday

      • East: Irish Cultural Center, Canton, MA

      • South: Culpeper Sports Complex, Culpeper, VA

      • Midwest: Obetz Fortress, Columbus Ohio

      • West: CPKC Training Complex, Kansas City, MO

  • 28th: Thanksgiving

December 2024

  • 7th-8th: National Championship Weekend at Sabrecats Stadium in Houston, TX

January 2025 

  • 25-26: National Cup 7s All Star Tournament at Silverbacks Park in Atlanta, GA

  • Points of contact per conference due by 8/1

April 2025
  • 25-27: CRC National 7s Championship @ TBC
    • schedule adjustments possible, women’s days of competitions TBC
 

All dates have been added to the commissioner doc which you can reference anytime. If you wish to schedule a call to further discuss the upcoming season please let me know and we can find a time that works for both of us.

cheers,

smarto

Sincerely,

 
Tony Brown

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.
