Welcome to the home of the Saint Louis
University Rugby Club. Established in 1957, SLU Rugby is a
member of the Missouri Rugby Football Union and competes in
the Western Rugby Football Union and USA Rugby's Collegiate
Division 2.
A premier Club sport on the campus of
Saint Louis University, SLU Rugby has won the MRFU Langenberg
Cup championship and qualified for the Western Territorial
Championships three times in the past seven years. SLU is
currently defending MRFU champion, and will attempt to repeat
in '06 and improve upon last year's 4th place finish at
Westerns.
SLU plays a regional collegiate schedule
with extensive travel in both the fall and spring seasons,
competing against the top Division 1 and 2 Clubs in the lower
Midwest.
Drawing from a strong winning tradition
passed on throughout the decades by the alumni and the
University, the Saint Louis University Rugby Club continually
strives for success at the highest levels of athletic
competition, creating an environment in which it's
student-athletes can develop both as rugby players and as men
for others.

student of Saint Louis University and are interested in
joining the Club, a member of another team interested in
scheduling a match for the spring season, or would just like
some more information about us, feel free to contact Chris

End of Fall Season |
| The match against Vanderbilt wraps up a busy fall season in
which SLU finished up with a 7-4 record. The team now looks ahead to the spring season in which they will defend their
title in the Langenburg Cup Tournament. Finally, the team sends a fond farewell to their refugees from New Orleans.
Mark Duvall, Wade Swanson, Nick Dosky, and Mike Twillman all contributed greatly this season and we had a great time
playing with them. We look forward to playing you guys down in New Orleans sometime this Spring.

| SLU travelled to Nashville this weekend to take on
Vanderbilt. Competing with an injury ridden a-side squad that started several freshman for the first time, SLU fell
to a competitive Vanderbilt squad by a score of 34-19. Despite the loss, SLU competed until the very end and saw
some very encouraging play out of some young players. Freshman Matt Reisinger scored two tries at outside center
in his first start ever while rookies John Felbruegge, Travis Dingledine, and Kevin Moser also contributed in the
starting lineup.
