Fresno State men’s rugby is in the midst of yet another season, and the players are looking to build off the success of last year.
The program is young, getting its start in 2009. Head coach Patrick Quan said 2016 was the best season so far.
Due to the loss of nine players from the previous season, the team is trying to balance being in a rebuilding phase while competing for the playoffs.
“We’re just trying to get better. We are a new program,” Quan said. “We have lost games by over 100 points, so you kind of have to know where we started, and Northern California is a hotbed for rugby in the United States.
