Rugby building strong season around veterans

When it comes to intercollegiate athletics, Rice usually finds itself as the guppy among sharks. Despite the sporadic success of varsity sports, many club sports teams have recently achieved considerable success. Both club baseball and ultimate frisbee have made names for themselves over the past few years, and now the Rice rugby football club is joining their ranks. In fact, after a dominant 4-0 start in the Texas Rugby Union Div. II league, Rugbymag.com has recently awarded the team a No. 15 national ranking. This success has not come easily, but adversity has helped fuel this hungry squad. Team captain Matt Jones commented on how the tough time helped unite the team.
