Elmhurst fight hard in 32-28 loss to Marine Academy
28 April 2017 - Elmhurst Rugby traveled to Marine Leadership Academy to play a Friday night game under the lights. The Elmhurst boys started slow, with Marine leading in points, 15-0, through the first 20 minutes of play. Elmhurst would not give up and Nicholas Bauer ignited a fire from a free kick trapped deep in Elmhurst territory. Bauer took the kick himself, charging up the field and recovering the ball after a single bounce before the opposing fullback could put hands on the ball. Bauer touched the ball down for Elmhurst’s first score of the night. Ryan Blessing converted the try.

Elmhurst vs Chicago Blaze
