Portsmouth, RI- The UAlbany Great Danes lost their two pool matches at the Beast of the East Rugby Tournament in Portsmouth,RI, UA 0 -Brown 22 abd UA 7 - UConn 10. The first match vs the Ivy League's Brown University was a tale of two styles in which Brown's backfield used strategic kicking and strong back play to blank Albany. Albany's forwards did a fine job at controlling tempo on offense but Brown would take advantage, to the tune of 22 points, of any Albany turnover.
In the second game vs UCONN, Albany's 4/10/10 opponent, got their revenge, 10- 7. Poor clearing kicks proved to be Albany's demise. This enabled UConn to stay in Albany territoy which would stymie any Albany hopes for victory. Albany's score came off a nice Gary Owen by flyhalf Dylan Gandy to a streaking center Mike Cyr who took the ball on one hop and downed it to the right of the posts. Jack Reisman added the conversion.
Albany's All "B"lacks faced UMASS B in in a second division match where the UMASS would come out on top 12-5. Albany hooker Kevin Boyle dove in off a truck and trail for Albany's lone score
