BRISTOL, R.I. - Two members from the Roger Williams University Men’s Rugby team have been named to the New England Select Side team. Seniors Colby Roy and Mark Olsen have been honored with this achievement to represent New England.
Colby Roy, the President of the RWU team, was an intricate part of the success of the Hawks this past season. Senior Mark Olsen was also an important part of the team, and they both look to continue their successes on the field in the upcoming spring season.
The New England Select Slide Team is sponsored by New England Rugby Football Union. The game will be taking place under the lights on Toulouse University on April 9th at Amesbury Sports Park, with an 8:30 p.m. kickoff.
Head Coach Chris Palombo sees this accomplishment as a major step for RWU Rugby.
