The 2018 Rugby Rampage was a smashing success! Excitement filled the air on Day 1 as this year’s Rugby Rampage would serve as the first competition of the season for most teams. From the opening whistle, it was readily apparent that the MedStar Punishers would be one of the top teams of this round-robin tournament. As the first day rolled on, the Monttawa squad and Oscar Mike Militia would show everyone that they were also in the hunt for the trophy. The most intriguing match of the day was the battle between Oscar Mike and Monttawa, with the Militia coming out on top, 50-44.
On Day 2, the Punishers took on Monttawa in a match that would decide the tournament champion. Although they kept it close early in the match, Monttawa eventually fell to the superior MedStar Punishers squad, 54-43. The Punishers would eventually finish the weekend undefeated and take home the crown.
The most noteworthy match of Day 2 was Oscar Mike vs. the Connecticut Jammers. Being relatively new, the Jammers were having a difficult time against more experienced teams. In a great show of sportsmanship, the teams agreed to play a mixed-squad match as the Oscar Mike players helped the Jammers improve their game. It was the closest contest of the weekend as Oscar Mike won 47-46 on a last-second goal by Connecticut’s Joe Stone.
