Rugby East Conference News
Penn State moved to 7-0 in the Rugby East with fairly dominant 66-5 victory over Wheeling Jesuit Friday night.
Back from illness, Malcolm May has become the undisputed leader of probably the best college rugby team playing this fall.
The All American flanker said he is just happy to be playing, but added that he wants to do more.
With Penn State and Army not playing conference games this weekend, others in the Rugby East looked to gain some ground.
In writing about the Chesapeake Conference, where there seemed to be an inordinate number of close games, we decided to see if our impressions were correct.
So we looked at the stats in Men's DI College rugby. We looked at which conferences had the most close losses (7 points or less) and also who had the most, what we'll call "competitive losses," which means losses of 14 or less.
Penn State remains atop the Rugby East after the Nittany Lions defeated Iona 36-19 Saturday.
