Western New England College: 31
Merrimack College: 7
The Sunday rain had cleared up by this 4 PM kickoff.
WNEC are a brand new rugby club, but you wouldnt have guessed it per the way they performed.
The game was competitive and hard hitting. WNEC won the game at scrum time, consistently causing problems for Merrimack as they were forced to clean up messy ball at the back of the scrum.
WNEC scored a few tries from the base of their strong scrum but struggled to finish off back line moves.
Merrimack competed well, scoring one try of their own, but struggled to get their moves going because they were going backwards at almost every scrum.
It is strange how teams from Springfield, MA always have strong scrums, must be something in their coaching or training, because the Rifles and WNEC are extraordinarily good at scrummaging.
