Albany,NY- The Albany Great Danes take on UMass Saturday in a pivotal East Coast Rugby Conference matchup. Albany is coming in on a two game win streak and sits a top of the conference standings with a 2-1-0 record. UMass is 1-2-0 but has suffered some tight losses against Middlebury College and Northeastern U and a win would put them right back in the hunt for an ECRC Championship.
Albany's scoring has been bolstered by fullback Joe Mandel being inserted in the first XV lineup. Mandel is 4th in the conference scoring race with 26 points off of seven conversions and 4 penalty kicks. Mandel did not see action in the first ECRC contest at AIC. "He has been a real threat and keeps the opposition on their toes knowing that any penalties against will lead to Albany points" stated Coach Durant.
Kickoff is 1:00pm. There will be a kickoff tailgate sponsored by th University at Alumni Association in the tents in front of the science library.
Go Danes!
