- Platteville took second place
at the annual Milwaukee Cup tournament on April 18th. Platteville’s first match was against
UW-Parkside. The match was
neck-and-neck at half, but in the second half, Platteville took off, ending
up crushing Parkside. The second
match was against UW-Marquette, where the team was losing going into the
half, but rallied in the second to a great come-from-behind win. The third match, the tournament
championship, was against the defending champions of UW-Whitewater. At half, Platteville was down by
twenty-nine points, but in the second half was looking like they could pull
off an amazing comeback, even greater than that of the Marquette match. Unfortunately, the men came close, but
not close enough, losing the match by three points on a contested
call. The final score was 29-26.
- The Men’s Rugby team won
Mudfest on April 4th, triumphing over UW-Steven’s Point,
UW-Ripon, and the Men’s B-side team.
The Platteville Men’s Alumni team, with the help of some Irish
imports, easily took the Men’s Division, defeating the Oshkosh Men’s team
and the LaCrosse Men’s team. Thank
you to everyone who came out and supported the team. We hope you had a great time!
- Platteville’s B-side lost
to Madison’s B-side March 28th in a very close game. The B-siders fought hard, and dominated
the game, but in the end, were unable to make their efforts put any points
on the scoreboard. The team got a
great look at rugby, as for many it was their first real match. Good things are expected from these
up-and-comers.

- Over the weekend of
February 14th, fourteen players of the UW-Platteville Men’s
Rugby Club travelled to San Diego to participate in a seven’s tournament,
as well as watch the USA Sevens international rugby tournament in Petco
Park. In its first competitive
sevens experience ever, the team placed sixth of ten teams in the
tournament. On Saturday, the men
watched the U.S. team beat Australia’s team for only the second time in 32
matchups between the teams. The
entire trip was a wonderful experience, and the boys had a great time.
