Holy Cross posted this today. I am friends with a few alums who played rugby during our time, but do not follow the team. Apparently we made it to the National Semifinals (rugby is not NCAA sanctioned) but lost by 10.

The truth is the truth even if few believe it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.

Thanks for filling us in.
Back in the day I remember the HC Rugtby Club winning a tournament somewhere in the caribbean, but getting so little support from the college, that they presented the Championship Trophy to Father Hart. It was on display in his office for sometime.
PS: With no Spring football, a. number of the football players were on that rugby club.

Rugby is an emerging sport for Women so there are several NCAA sanctioned teams. www.ncaa.org/about/resources/inclusion/emerging-sports-women

Dartmouth won the D-1 title over Army at Army. I was shooting that for Dartmouth and was a great time. D1 Standings available here www.nirawrugby.org/d1-standings-fall-2021.html

AIC won the D-2 title and D-3 was won by Bowdoin

HC game starts at about 3:30. Full game.

Played in Houston. HC got to Houston by beating Loyola MD and Catholic Univ. Christendom is located in Front Royal VA. The other semi-final was New Mexico Tech and St. John's Univ.

Christendom is also nicknamed the Crusaders. From the size and background of several players, Christendom might recruit for rugby.

Christendom is Catholic, and was seeded #1. HC was seeded #6.

Christendom has been one of the premier college rugby teams in the nation for the past five years, after winning the 7s National Championship title in 2017. Since then, the college has made multiple National Championship title runs, including competing in the National Collegiate Rugby 7s Championship earlier this year. This current run marks the first time that Christendom enters the Final Four as the #1 seed in the nation, with a possible win marking the college’s first Rugby 15s National Championship.

This image is all you need to know about rugby recruiting at Christendom.
