Sophomore lock, Conor Meldelson (above), runs the ball after picking it off of another Bison in a ruck, while former Bison Troy Johnston, now a Colonial, chases from behind.

The Bisons lost two players in their opening match — seniors Brady Winner and Jerimiah Elsass both suffered injuries. Winner suffered a head injury in the first half, and Elsass got a high ankle sprain in the second half.

The rugby team’s next game is scheduled for Sept. 17 against their rival, Carnegie Mellon, at Cupples Field in the South Side.
