L 12-24 vs. Boston
W 35-28 vs. Worcester

MIT also competed at the Worcester 7’s but no one wrote down the results. Safe to say no hardware was one.

MIT will be playing touch rugby on Roberts turf field at Henry Steinbrenner Stadium on Vassar Street throughout the winter months (starting 01/06/25) on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7-9 PM.

New players are welcome. No experience necessary. Cleats are recommended. Dress warm!

MIT finished their season 3-4-1; missing the playoffs, but ending with their best win of the season over the Wolfhounds. MIT faced a tough road schedule and were exiled from their own field until November. MIT look to carry the momentum of that win into the spring season, where hopefully they will play multiple games at Briggs once again.

MIT went 3-1 at the NERFU Cup on May 17-18 to win the plate trophy.

MIT first defeated D3 rival Providence (22-12).

MIT then defeated Springfield RFC (22-0) and Hartford RFC (28-5) on Sunday to win the plate (to be mailed later).
