Brown Men's Rugby B-side Triumphs Over Fairfield B in Season Opener
In their season opener, the Brown Men's Rugby B-side secured a confident victory under challenging hot and humid conditions against the Fairfield University B-side Stags. The match, which took place on September 6, 2025, at Grauert Field, Fairfield University, Fairfield, Connecticut, ended prematurely after only 18 minutes due to a nearby thunderstorm, with a final score of Brown 12 - Fairfield 0 marking a strong start for the Bears this season.
Key players Kit Sanders and Miles Monroe were instrumental in scoring tries for Brown, setting the pace of the game. Ben Shirley contributed to the scoreboard by successfully kicking one conversion. The Bears' performance was marked by strategic play and effective teamwork, which were crucial in overcoming the tough weather conditions that day.
Assistant Coach Ryan Grant commented on the team's performance,
"Fortunately for them, the weather saved the Stags from the hunt, because we were really starting to get going, and I don't think they would have enjoyed the next 60 or so minutes of rugby. This unit looked really well put together for their first match together, and I'm excited to see what they can accomplish this season!"
Looking ahead, the B's next encounter will be against a Division 1-AA opponent, the Northeastern University Huskies out of Boston, Massachusetts, on September 13, 2025, at Marvel Field, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island. This upcoming game will be a crucial test as the Bears aim to build on their initial success and elevate their current season record of 1-0.
