Harvard University men's rugby will be hiring a new, full-time Head Coach in 2023.
Backed by an alumni group (Friends of Harvard Rugby FC LLC), and with the cooperation of the University's Athletic Department, the 150-year-old Harvard Rugby Club is looking to take the next step with a full-time paid Head Coach.
Brown won the Liberty D1 conference Saturday night, defeating AIC 33-14.
Brown took the lead within the first few minutes behind a surging forward pack. The pressure forced a penalty which led to a lineout and a maul. The game remained 7-0 for about 15 minutes. Much of that was AIC on the front foot, but Brown's defense was very good.
