Hawkeyes Meet Trine College (Indiana) in a Non-Conference Clash This Saturday

Hawkeyes Host Trine College in Saturday Showdown

‍

The University of Iowa Men’s Rugby Club takes the field this Saturday, September 21, for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff against Trine College (Indiana) on the Iowa Rugby Pitch. Alumni, family, and friends are invited to come out and create a strong home-field atmosphere for what promises to be a competitive clash.

‍

The Hawkeyes are eager to build early-season momentum, and this matchup provides the perfect test. Iowa’s veteran forwards have been sharpening their work in the scrum and lineout, while the backline has shown flashes of speed and creativity that can stretch defenses. Look for the flyhalf to control tempo and territory with his boot, while the loose forwards will be tasked with winning the breakdown against Trine’s aggressive pack.

‍

Trine arrives with a reputation for physicality and discipline around the ruck. Their forwards thrive in close quarters, and Iowa will need to meet them head-on at the gain line. The visitors also bring a strong tackling game, which means every meter will have to be earned by the Hawkeyes.

‍

Beyond the X’s and O’s, this is a chance for Iowa Rugby supporters to connect and show their pride. The Iowa Rugby Pitch always delivers a special atmosphere, and the players feed off the energy from the sidelines. Whether you’re a longtime alum or watching your first game, Saturday is the day to make your presence felt.

‍

Kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. sharp. Bring your chair, your voice, and your Hawkeye spirit—let’s make sure Trine knows they’re playing in Iowa City.
