Duke Grad Rugby showed amazing attitude and emotional control to register its first win of the season.

After losing its first game against much more experienced Wharton A, in the first game of the season for the Blue Devils, Duke was able to regroup and record a 25x12 win against Wharton B.

Wharton B started ahead scoring 12x0 in the first 10 minutes of the game, but Nick Zwemer scored his first try still in the first half, giving hopes of a turnaround. With 4 more tries and impressive tackles, Duke Grad Rugby recorded it first in of the 2016-2017 season.

Later on Saturday, Duke Grad lost its game against CBS and on Sunday tied 14-14 with Wharton B in a friendly sevens match.

Duke Grad Rugby focuses now on Southern Pines Division 4 game next Saturday, October 8.
