It was announced on December 9th that La Salle University was now going to be added back into Division III of the Eastern Penn Rugby Union.
“This means that we are now a recognized team by USA Rugby, meaning we will be able to compete in playoffs and championships,” said head coach Lou Gana.
The team used to be in Division III before the club missed the Spring 2010 season and was moved to non-division status. The team will now play teams such as Swarthmore, TCNJ and Widener University.
“ I know we will compete with teams in the division,” Gana said, “However, it is up to the team to work harder on and off the field to be a successful team in a tougher division.”
Like many of the young players on the team, Gana has higher hopes for La Salle.
“One of our goals has been accomplished in a short period, which is a testament to the group of guys we have on this team.”
