Danes Handle Hudson Valley B, 46-0

Kingston,NY- The Danes' Purple side traveled to Kingston to take on the Hudson Valley Rugby Club's second side in another pre-season match up for Albany. Anthony Russo led off the Albany scoring with a take off of ruck ball inside the HV 10. HV would try and counter with gutsy forward play that enabled them to maintain possession for a good 15 mins but were unable to punch it in against the stingy Albany defense. Albany gained the ball after a clearing kick was muffed and Dan McNamarra grabbed it on the run to feed Justin Barends who sprinted in 22 meters for the score. Mo Aisi would add a score to close the half with nifty outside of the foot grubber which he scooped and scored. Albany 17-0 at the half.

The second half was all Albany. HV could not match Albany's fitness and outside half speed. Russo (2), Lahens, Newell, and Henrguez would all score off of breakouts from hsyt inside the 50. 46-0 final.

The Danes' Black side traveled to Troy, NY to play RPI's B and one a nailbiter, 24-23. Game details not available at time of stroy.
