College Men
Amateurism is under intense scrutiny this college rugby season for a number of reasons.
Norwich University scrumhalf Tom St. Pierre was the sparkplug this past weekend as the Cadets defeated Middlebury 30-14.
St. Pierre scored a two tries to go with the try he scored against Rhode Island the week before, with that pair against Middlebury helping stake his team to a 15-0 first-half lead.
The Norwich University men's rugby team is now 2-0 in the New England CRC after beating Middlebury in 30-14 on Saturday.
The Cadets opened the game with 30 straight points and held on as Middlebury scored two tries in the final eight minutes. Norwich got two early tries from scrumhalf Tom St. Pierre, and flyhalf Keegan Frisk converted one try and added a penalty for a 15-0 lead.
Iowa Central Community College logged another strong result this past weekend, defeating Iowa State 26-15.
This follows in a defeat of Creighton the week before and solid scores against the likes of Northern Iowa and Minnesota-Duluth.
Not bad for a community college, but it’s also a community college with a varsity rugby program.
Western State's win over Colorado School of Mines throws the Rocky Mountain Conference into a free-for-all.
