DU Rugby to host Vatos at 7pm this Saturday, Pioneers trying to create attendance record for Diane Wendt Sports Fields

This Saturday November 1, 2014 at 7pm will see #13 New Mexico visit the home of DU Rugby in what should be a great rugby match. Both teams are unbeaten as they enter the contest and their is everything to play for as both teams look to cement their playoff place.

Since it is homecoming and parents weekend, DU Rugby is trying to "Pack the House" and create as much support as possible and the student body plays a huge role in creating a home field advantage for the Pioneers. DU Rugby is also reaching out to the Colorado Rugby community for their support to help push the Pioneers on.

The last time the two teams met was in the fall of 2013 and DU Rugby ran out winners in a physical and close encounter. The same is expected of this match and it should provide a great opportunity to see collegiate rugby at its best.

"Our young men are looking forward to this match", shared head coach Allan Wilson, "These are playoff type matches and these are the games that our players want to play in. We are looking forward to seeing what our team brings and are excited to be hosting a great team from New Mexico."

Admission to the event is free and concessions are available by Sodexo for all fans with a portion of the proceeds going to DU Rugby. Please support this opportunity by making a purchase. We look forward to seeing everyone at the match to cheer DU Rugby on.
