2002 Anchormen Rugby vs RIC Alumni

The 3rd Annual Alumni Match

This year face a year of redemption for the Alumni of Rhode Island College.  Last Year proved disheartening with a 28 - 0 loss to the 2001 Club team.  This year was a different story.  Several seniors left the team last year and joined the Alumni this year in combination with a greater turnout by the Alumni.

The event was a great one.  With the Alumni maintaining the advantage the majority of the match, the 2002 team showed excellent defensive coverage the whole game.  Gerry D' Arezzo led the pack with several fabulous tackles and steals from the Alumni.  Providing offensive direction was lone Senior, Paul "PJ" Lague at scrumhalf.  Excellent communication between PJ and fly-half, Ryan Duggan, kept the club in the game the whole match.

The Alumni provided itself several opportunities to score with Rod Poland leading several drives down the field.  Providing support was Bill Spinelli and Brian "Sgetti" McCormick.  The forwards sustained control by way of stealing several scrum-downs and key tackles throughout the match.  The lone offensive score came off of a penalty by PJ, Dan "Rudy" Saccoccio took advantage of the situation and caught the 2002 Anchormen on their heels and ran in for the try to end the first half.

The match ended with the score of 5 - 0 and the Alumni walking away with the win.  This year proved to be the Alumni annual event more successful than the previous years and will look forward to future events to be even better.

The 2002 Team would like to thank all the parents, fans, and alumni for taking part in this great annual event and hope for your return next year and each event.
