U of Scranton

University of Scranton Norsemen Rugby Football Club is a collegiate rugby union team at the University of Scranton. The Norsemen compete in the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference.

The Norsemen were chartered and founded as a club at the University of Scranton in 1985. The Norsemen enjoyed success through the 1990's and developed a reputation as a tough and physical team.

The team originated from students but was not "officially" affiliated with the school until it joined the EPRU in 1988/89, as the affiliation with a school was required even for NCAA club sports and it was the only way they could schedule games against other colleges. The colors were green and black, reverse quarters.
