The Rugby Club held its annual Snowbowl tournament Saturday, March 17 on the intramural field.
Teams from Castleton, Johnson, and Vermont Technical College, and Green Mountain College as well as Lyndon’s own teams (men, women, and alumni) competed throughout the day. Wins and losses were written down but not taken very seriously; the event was about having a good time.
Club president Erikka Eddy said, “The event went better than planned, the field was in great condition and the teams had a great time!”
Lyndon’s own team spent hours out on the field making sure it was not iced over for the event.
The tournament was set up in a round robin double elimination format, due to a couple of teams not showing up the schedule was constantly being changed by club vice president Nicole Czelada.
Lyndon’s alumni team had players traveling from as far away as Florida, and Delaware; as well as players who still live locally. Although they are not as practiced as the other teams, they held their own and managed to win at least one of the games they played.
Eddy says, “I had a great time planning and putting on this event and I can’t wait to do it again next year, hopefully it’s bigger and better than ever.”
