Spring Match with Davidson Cancelled; UNC-G Steps in as Replacement

Davidson has backed out of its February 28, 2009 match with Wake Forest, scheduled as the headline match of the Wake Forest High School Rugby Showcase. Davidson's spring break begins on the 28th and the team notified Wake forest that it would be unable to field a team due to player availability. Davidson and Wake are in discussions to reschedule the match for later in the spring.

Meanwhile, UNC-Greensboro has accepted an invitation to replace Davidson and will travel to Wake to take on the Demon Deacons on the 28th. UNC-G is experiencing a resurgence of its program under the new leadership of former University of Tennessee and Chicago Lions player Jeremy Linne who has taken over as head coach of the team.
