Kutztown Takes St. Joe's Sevens

#stjoes7s St. Joseph's University hosted the St. Joe's Sevens March 14 on the turf at Sweeney Field. The first match kicked off at 4:00pm and matches continued until 10:00pm on a cold, rainy day in Philadelphia.

When a March 14 tournament at Navy was canceled leaving the St. Bonaventure University rugby team high and dry with non-refundable tickets, St. Joe's head coach Shags Yarusso offered to stage a replacement tournament. Six teams signed on for the event including 2 from Temple (A,B), 2 from St. Bonaventure (A,B), Kutztown University and St. Joseph's.
