RedStorm rugby remains unbeaten

Rio Grande Sports Information
MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - The University of Rio Grande's rugby team kept its perfect season intact on Saturday, but their latest victory didn't come near as easily as the inaugural triumph.
The RedStorm parlayed Robert Morris turnovers into points and outlasted the Colonials, 31-17, in Allegheny Rugby Conference play at Joe Walton Stadium.
Rio Grande, which throttled Baldwin-Wallace University, 91-0, in its debut on Sept. 11 before getting a forfeit win over California University (Pa.) last week, improved to 3-0 with the win.
Robert Morris slipped to 1-2 with the loss.

"Both forward packs were tough and hard-running," said Rio Grande head coach Corey Momsen. "RMU put out backline under some pressure with tactical kicking. We capitalized on their mistakes and a good amount of our scores came from big turnovers."
Freshman back Solomone Ahoia (Lawndale, CA) led the RedStorm with a trio of successful tries, while freshman forward Christopher Gates (Charlotte, NC) and freshman forward Devon Scriber (Colorado Springs, CO) tallied one try each.
Senior back Caden Harden (Oak Hill, OH) was successful on three of five conversion attempts.
"Robert Morris came out of the gate and really ran downhill at us," Momsen said. "We prepared for that and waited patiently on them to make mistakes. It was a great test and physical match."
Rio Grande returns to action on October 9 when it hosts Denison University.
