The Fall Is Filling In, and You Can Drive to All of It

For the first time since spring, you can plan a whole autumn of college rugby without leaving the state. Life University posted a nine-match schedule with four Saturdays at Lupo Family Field: Mary Washington on October 3 (the home opener, 1:00 PM), Navy on October 10, Southern Virginia on October 31, and Loyola New Orleans on November 21, with the season opening on the road at MAU on Saturday, September 26. The women's staff head into fall fresh off their girls residency camp, which wrapped Wednesday, July 29 at The Commons, and sign-ups for next summer's edition are already open. Georgia Tech runs six fixtures with two at Stamps Field, Tennessee Tech on Saturday, September 26 and North Alabama on Saturday, October 17. UGA opens at home in Athens on Saturday, August 22 under new head coach Jesse Posnansky, a former Bulldog, with South Carolina visiting Saturday, August 29 and Kennesaw State up on Saturday, October 24. And in Milledgeville, Georgia College's Bobcats built a season of their own, opening at home against Georgia Tech on Saturday, September 5, a fixture both clubs' graphics agree on, which is how we like our schedules: confirmed from both ends. The map has one gap, and it matters: not a single women's college schedule in Georgia is public yet. UGA's women, Tech's, Kennesaw's, North Georgia's, and the reigning national champions at Life all have falls coming, and none has dates. The moment they post, they are here. Every home match above is on the calendar.

Life U's Logan Ballinger a Rudy Scholz Award Finalist

California's Solomon Williams won it at the gala in Seattle on Saturday, June 13, but a Marietta-based player in the final four marks how high college rugby in Georgia is operating.

Tuesday, May 5, 2026

Georgia's campuses field men's and women's sides across the state, from big-school programs to club sides that welcome first-time players. Most college rugby players in this state picked the sport up at orientation, so no experience required is the norm, and the fastest way in is the club's Instagram.
