Wake Forest's first and second sides will play at Coastal Carolina University on October 4. Wake was originally scheduled to play at Georgia Tech on October 4th, but Tech was forced to cancel after a rescheduling of the Georgia Rugby Union Tournament.
Coastal Carolina is a very big, physical, and talented Division III side out of the Palmetto Rugby Union. Last fall they won the Palmetto Rugby Union tournament, defeating Division I University of South Carolina along the way. This past spring they finished second in league play to eventual national runners-up Furman University and were ousted from the South DIII playoffs with a one-point loss at Elon. This will be a good test for Wake Forest.
Wake's schedule for Fall 2008 is now finalized and looks like this:
Sept. 13: Intrasquad scrimmage
Sept. 20: @ Davidson (second side only)
Sept. 27: University of North Carolina (Family Weekend; first and second sides)
Oct. 4: @ Coastal Carolina (first and second sides)
Oct. 11: Clemson (first and second sides)
Oct. 18: Fall Break- no match
Oct. 25-26: NCRU Tournament (first and second sides; location TBA)
Nov. 1: OFF
Nov. 8: First side vs. Wake Rugby Alumni; Second side vs. UNC-Pembroke (Homecoming Weekend)
