Last Season Recap

The rugby team, led by Head Coaches Marty Perry and Tank O’Brien, finished 3rd in the Illinois Youth Rugby Association Tier 1 East with a 3-2 regular season record. The Wolfpack’s most significant win was a 17-14 road victory over previously unbeaten Lincoln Way on May 2. Brendan Coleman did a great job captaining the side throughout the season while Bob Mulvaney played with the USA Under-19 team on a tour to England over Easter break. The season concluded on the weekend of May 16, with a loss in a first round playoff game to Naperville but on the following day, the underclassmen won the St. Charles freshman-sophomore invitational with victories over Brother Rice, St. Charles and Morton. Jake Rozner was named MVP of the tournament.
