St. Bonaventure women’s rugby team honored with state resolution for winning national title
Back in February 2024, three state legislators presented the St. Bonaventure University women’s rugby team with the state resolution honoring them for winning the national championship in December.
“Bonaventure may be small, but we are mighty,” said Assemblyman Joe Giglio (R-Gowanda), who sent three children to SBU. “For us to do this is a privilege. The population centers in New York don’t often include us so it’s nice, every once in a while, to get to go back to Albany and brag.”
The resolution was officially entered into the state Assembly and Senate records on Jan. 17.
The Bonnies defeated Wisconsin-Platteville, 22-17, for the 2023 National Collegiate Rugby small-college national title Dec. 3 in Houston.
