The Kent State University Men's Rugby Club is a USA Rugby sanctioned Collegiate Rugby Club.

They compete against big name schools like Xavier, Louisville and Marshall. The team is anchored by a core group of dedicated players that practice regularly and are very competitive in all seasons (Spring, Fall, and sometimes Summer) of play.

The team also travels to tournaments around, and outside of the region.

They were recently ranked just outside of the Top 10 in the nation in DII, sitting at no. 12. This was during the Fall of 2013, when they ended their competitive season with a record of 4-2-1. The most reason Fall season ended just half a win short of the playoff berth; finishing at 3-2-1.

The team is entered DI AA in 2014, and is looking for any students looking to stay in shape, compete at a high level, and enjoy the camaraderie behind the sport of rugby.

Practices are Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30-10:00pm at the KSU Field House (Located behind Dix Stadium).
