Press Release: USC Rugby Ranked 22nd.pdf

Columbia, SC – Following USC's recent rise to #22 in the American Rugby News Top 25 (October 20, 2009), there has been a surge of news coverage surrounding Gamecock Rugby.

This past Wednesday, USC's on-campus newspaper, The Daily Gamecock, spoke with club president/captain Anthony Hughes, providing his thoughts on the ranking as well as a summary of the team's season-to-date to an on-campus circulation of over 25,000 students.

Over at the Carolina Rugby Examiner, columnist Mike Gellatly continues his excellent coverage of rugby in the Palmetto State, sharing new insights from USC head coach Geoff Mason on the ranking, as well as the team's upcoming matches at the SEC Championship Rugby Tournament.

Finally, Garnet and Black Attack, a popular SB Nation blog covering all things Gamecock Sports, upgraded a pair of fanposts by USC webmaster Erik Geib to its front page, further spreading the good news of Carolina's recent success to the online community.

Congratulations, Gamecocks, on the positive coverage thus far! USC travels this weekend to Birmingham, AL to take on Ole Miss in its SEC Tournament opener, with a potential date against #6 LSU in the tournament's semi-final should the Rebels fall to the 4-0 [10-2] Gamecocks.
