Men's rugby enjoys the finer pleasures

Bowdoin men's rugby looks to have an exciting and action packed year as they kick off the season this weekend at home against Bates starting at 11:00 a.m.. This year's team, lead by captains Ryan Chisholm '04 and Warren Dubitsky '04, is full of seasoned veterans that are known to "go hard." Despite losing key players such as captains Dennis "Zeus" Kiley '03 and "Big Dave" Kirkland '03, the Bears are expected to reach the postseason for a third straight year.

"These guys have a lot of fire, and when I say fire, I mean fire; like the shizzle that Smokey warns you about," said team member Alexis Acevedo '04.

This year's team is once again under the guidance of well experienced head coach Rick Scala, who has led the Bears to a 13-2 record over the past three years.

"He's like a fine wine, he only gets better with age," said former teammate Mikey "the claw" Balulescu '03.

The "boys in black" practice weekdays behind Farley Field House at 4:00 p.m. and encourage anyone interested to come out and play. No experience is necessary.
