The Molloy Men’s Rugby team defeated Stony Brook and Hofstra this past weekend to capture its first-ever Long Island Cup.
The Lions defeated Stony Brook on Friday night, then easily handled Hofstra with a 33-17 victory on Sunday to claim the Cup. The victory over Hofstra was the first time that Molloy had defeated the Pride.
“Even though we were without two of our starters, the rest of our team stepped up and showed great heart,” said Coach Brendan Droge. “To beat Hofstra for the first time to earn our first Long Island Cup was truly an unforgettable experience for everyone.”
The Molloy Men’s Rugby team was created in 2005, and the women fielded their first team in 2008.
