About the Men's Rugby Club
The club is a member of the NYS Rugby Conference. During the fall, they participate in NYS Rugby Conference league games. The spring schedule consists either scrimmages or tournaments.
In their 2001 season, the men's rugby team was undefeated in league play and won the NYS Rugby Conference Championship that qualified them for the NE Regional in Mass. (Fourth place). In 2002, the team placed second in the NYS Rugby Conference Championships and Brandon Lobrutto was named to the NE All Star team. Again in 2005, the rugby team was undefeated in league play, won the NYS Rugby Conference Championship and qualified for the NE Regional in Mass. (fourth place).
In the Fall of 2006, Plattsburgh State Men's Rugby club moved from Division 3 NYS Rugby Conference to Division II League playing Hamilton, Colgate, RPI, Union LeMoyne, and Sienna. In the spring of 2009, the men's team took first at the NYS Rugby Collegiate Upstate Tournament beating Hamilton, Genesco and Buffalo State in championship game 10-0.
The Men's and women's rugby teams sponsor TNT Rugby Tournament. The profit from this tournament is donated to the Tony Santandrea Memorial Scholarship fund through the College Foundation.
At the Rugby field, remembrance plaques and trees have been planted to remember Tony Santandrea and Trevor Green rugby players who died as students and Billy Erwin, a rugby alumnus who died in the World Trade Centers on 9/11.
