NDC men's rugby has five players recognized; Grendon earns academic award

On December 22, the D1A East All-Conference men's rugby selections were announced via D1ARugby.com. Notre Dame College's freshman Jasper Windsor-Clive, senior Marcus Tupuloa, senior Cullen Barelka, senior Cory Graham and sophomore Sam Klimkowski were each put on one of the All-Conference teams while senior Cian Grendon received the Academic Achievement Award.

Windsor-Clive and Tupuloa were both 1st XV selections while Barelka and Graham were a part of the 2nd XV. Klimkowski was an honorable mention.

Grendon was recognized for his outstanding academic and athletic achievements as he finished the semester with a 4.0 GPA and was an integral part of the Falcons team.

Following an undefeated 2016-17 campaign, that included a 2016 Fall Championship and a 2017 Spring National Championship, NDC wrapped up the 2017 fall season with a 7-3 overall record and went 4-2 in the D1A Rugby East. Their conference wins came against Army, Buffalo, St. Bonaventure and Kutztown.
