Rugby

The Rugby program was established in 2023 and has been growing ever since. In the Fall, we compete in National Collegiate Rugby Division 2 in the Great MidWest Conference against teams such as Northwestern University, Loyola Chicago, University Illinois-Chicago, DePaul and the University of Chicago in regular season play. In the Spring, we offer rugby 7s and play in multiple tournaments in and out of state. We are constantly looking to add new players to the roster and strengthen our program.
