Rookies shine in loss to Providence

Teams:MIT vs Providence RFC
Played:10/26/2019 @ Pawtucket, RI
Score: 10 - 53 MIT loss

On Saturday, October 26, 2019, MIT traveled to Pawtucket, RI for the Division III playoff consolation game vs. Providence RFC. MIT once again traveled light, with just 16 players, 1 coach, 7 fans, 2 naughty urinating dogs, and 1 wet purse. In their 6th and final game, MIT had their 6th different starting lineup. While the team could have benefited from more lineup consistency, it was a good opportunity for some of the new guys to earn some playing time.

MIT eliminated from playoffs in nailbiter

Teams:MIT vs Boston Maccabi RFC
Played:10/19/2019 @ MIT
Score: 0 - 71 MIT loss

On Saturday, October 19, 2019, MIT hosted Boston Maccabi RFC in the first round of the playoffs. Boston Maccabi earned the top playoff spot after an undefeated regular season while MIT squeaked into the bottom spot after an up and down season. In the week leading up to the game, Boston Maccabi had over 30 players out to training, where 2 of the New England Freejack players assisted with coaching. On the other side, MIT were forced to cancel one of their practices due to low numbers; a problem that plagued the team throughout the season. Boston Maccabi scored early and often.
