Wake Forest junior Brendan Shea won a gold medal in Rugby 7s at the Connecticut Nutmeg State Games this past weekend. Shea was competing with a team comprised of Fairfield Prep Alumni, including Kyle Caravelli, current Cal scrumhalf and son of USA 7s head coach Al Caravelli. The Prep Alumni rolled to the gold medal game easily, defeating Fairfield University 42-7 and an Eastern Connecticut squad 35-0 in pool play. The Prep Alumni matched up against Fairfield University again in the final and again won handily, 32-5. In the gold medal game, Shea scored a 50 meter try to put his squad up by 20 and seal the victory.
