Fundraising for the Beast

Due to budget cuts throughout the whole school, we received less funding this year than last year. Last year we received about $17,000 for the year, which includes both the fall and spring season. While that was a huge help, it was just enough to make it. This year we received $15,000, and with some […]

Eagles vs the All Blacks

This week I’m going to stray a little bit from the PSU team, and talk a little bit about a great match that was played last month. On November 1st of this year the USA team, the eagles, faced off against the New Zealand All Blacks. This was the first time the All Blacks have […]

This week the PSU ruggers had a division clinching win against western New England College. With the 36-5 win, it puts the team at a 5-1 record for the season. This is good enough to be the top seed from the northern division going into the playoffs next week. Being the top seed is a […]

First defeat for the Norseman

This week the PSU ruggers took a tough defeat against Salve Regina in Newport. Going into the game the team was 3-0 leading the north division of the conference.

The Haka

History: The haka is a pre-game ritual dance done by the New Zealand All Blacks, first performed before an international rugby fixture by the New Zealand Native Team in 1888. The haka plays an integral role in physically and mentally preparing All Black teams for battle. The chant was originally sang to prepare for a war […]
