As the year comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who supported us. This spring, we crushed UMass Gives — and by “we,” we mean you. Every person who donated or helped spread the word played a role in helping us exceed our goal and break our own fundraising record. Your support helped us win our Power Hour and secure an additional bonus, and it’s because of your generosity that we’re able to continue growing and improving the program.

This year, we reached the D1-AA National Collegiate Rugby Championship semifinal in 15s, going toe-to-toe with a strong Kentucky side who went on to win the national title. In 7s, we capped the year by finishing 4th in the nation at the Division 1 Club level.

None of it happens without the backing of our incredible community. Thank you for believing in us — and thank you for supporting us and allowing us to play the game we love.
