"We were also able to give many of our rookies some playing time, which was great for them to get experience.

The men's squad also had a strong weekend which they started off with a 40-3 win against UMaine-Farmington NO GUESSING on Saturday. Fly half John Wheelock '06 was especially pleased with the victory. "Farmington is one of the toughest, most respected teams in the league and they came out playing hard and went ahead 3-0 in the first couple NO minutes. However, the score shows UNCERTAINTY the resolve and fire that Colby rugby brings to every match." (THAT'S WHAT MI OT ERMS ARE FOR) The men quickly caught up to UMaine-Farmington's early lead and surpassed them, scoring in six tries and two penalty kicks throughout the game.
