Danes a bust at ECRC Sevens

10/6/12
Amesbury, MA-Albany traveled to the East Coast Rugby Conference Sevens for a shot at taking the ultimate prize of an automatic bid to USA Rugby's National 7s Tournament at Texas A&M University. But travel issues and a lack of urgency proved to be barriers the Danes could not overcome. The Danes went 1-2 in pool play losing to ; Middlebury,AIC and a victory over SoConn. The Danes looked to get back on track against BC in the playin round but could only muster up 19 points to the Eagles 27.

Anthony Russo led the Danes in scoring with 20 points off of 4 tries. Sean Kimmins added 15 off of 3 tries.

Northeastern U defeated Middlebury College to capture the crown. Albany has both teams to contend with in the next few weeks in 15 a side rugby.

Albany is home against UMass this Saturday at 1:00pm.
