About the Men's Rugby Club
The club is a member of the N.Y.S. Rugby Conference. During the fall, they participate in N.Y.S. Rugby Conference league games. The spring schedule consists of several 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 will move from Division 3 NYS Rugby Conference to Division II League playing Albany, Colgate, LeMoyne, and Sienna.
The Men's rugby has a very strong alumni association that sponsors the Tony Santandrea Memorial tournament each spring. 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.
