Wake Rugby 2013 Official Spring Schedule Released

Wake Forest will be looking for a breakout season from sophomore Garrett Johns (right) 

to replace some of the defensive standouts that graduated from last year's squad.

The Wake Forest men's rugby team, coming off a solid fall 7s season, has finalized its spring 15s schedule. In addition to a full slate of ACRL conference games, the Demon Deacons will also have a preseason scrimmage with UNC-Wilmington and an exhibition game with the University of Pittburgh, winners of the D1-AA Keystone Conference. Wake will open ACRL play on February 16 at Chapel Hill against the University of North Carolina. This is a repeat of the Deacs conference opener last season, when they fell to the Tar Heels in a game that they felt they should have won and the team will be looking to even the score. The schedule is highlighted by a trip to Annapolis on March 2 to play new ACRL conference member Navy, followed by a pivotal home date with two time defending ACRL champion Maryland on March 9.
