        RECOGNIZING THE DARTMOUTH COLLEGE 7S RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. CHARLES F. BASS

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 7, 2012

  Mr. BASS of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the Dartmouth College Men's 7s Rugby team upon winning their second 
consecutive USA 7s Collegiate Rugby National Championship on Sunday, 
June 3rd in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
  Led by their coach, Alex Magleby, a powerful and experienced 
Dartmouth squad defeated the talented team from the University of 
Arizona 24-5 in the final match. The Big Green was dominant throughout 
the 16-team, two-day round-robin tournament winning a total of six 
games. During this time they outscored their opponents by a combined 
score of 170-41. It was only during their semi-final match against the 
University of California that Dartmouth ever found their selves behind, 
but the squad from Hanover battled back from a 12 point deficit to a 
21-19 victory.
  The 2012 7s Collegiate Rugby National Championship adds to the 
distinguished record and history of Dartmouth Rugby. In addition to the 
2011 7s National Championship, Dartmouth has the most rugby wins and 
championships among the members of the Ivy League, including winning 12 
of the last 15 Ivy

League Championships (15s), as well as the 2012 Ivy League 7s 
Championship.
  Mr. Speaker it is with great pleasure to recognize the success of my 
alma mater and the members of the 2012 Dartmouth College 7s Rugby team.
