In their first real test of the season, the men's Bowdoin Rugby Football Club met the University of Maine, Farmington Beavers (1-0) in Bowdoin's home opener. The game that ensued proved to be an exhilarating match between two skilled rugby clubs. Play moved rapidly across the field and only an aggressive defense, marshaled by talented forwards captain Truc Huynh '05 allowed Bowdoin to maintain a solid lead throughout the game.
