Rugby is gaining attention all over the United States at a rapid rate. However, that is not trickling over to the Hamden area and Quinnipiac student body. The Quinnipiac women’s rugby team is working towards a fourth-straight national championship. New Blue Rugby is a club team for males at Quinnipiac and they have a rich history as well.
