GRR: Iona
Penn State scored a big Rugby East Conference victory with a 56-12 defeat of Iona Friday night in Happy Valley.
Asked to characterize Sean Hardiman’s game at scrumhalf for Iona in their victory over Army this past weekend, Iona Head Coach Bruce McLane was succinct - “he played the best game of his life.”
Good timing for Hardiman, as he did so against a formidable opponent. Hardiman himself said his day, and the team’s day, came down to a lot of self-belief.
Here are highlights and post-game interviews on Iona's defeat of West Point.
