Wake Falls From Rankings

After opening the season ranked #20 in the county in Division II by erugbynews.com, Wake Forest has fallen from the rankings, the victim of not having yet played a first side match while other teams around the country are in full swing. Wake can regain its spot in the rankings with a solid showing against the University of North Carolina this Saturday. UNC is a Division I team who last year finished third in the South D1 competition. UNC opened its season last weekend with a sloppy 12-8 victory over North Carolina State but is sure to be playing improved rugby this weekend against the Demon Deacons. The match kicks off at 12pm on Saturday at Poteat Field. A second side match will follow.
