Dec. 8, 2014 - New England College’s Director of Rugby Jeremy Treece notified the National Small College Rugby Association (NSCRO) late last week that its program will make the surprise move to Division 1 next fall.
Since it began competing in the NSCRO playoff system in the fall of 2012, NEC has found great success winning the 2014 7’s national championship and finishing 2nd in the 15’s, all within a one-month period in the spring of 2014. NEC also finished 3rd in both in 2013.
