Milwaukee rugby advances to Division 1 post-season.

2015 05 02 Score D1 Barbarians At Scioto Valley

The Milwaukee Barbarians travelled to Columbus, OH today to take on Scioto Valley.

Expectations going into the match were mixed. Back in week 5, the Barbarians won a close contest 28-18 at home. However, injuries and player relocations have left the D1 squad short-handed for much of the spring campaign.

Despite traveling with no reserves, the Barbarians ground out a gritty, bonus-point victory on the road with the score reading 33-18 at the final whistle.

The bonus point secures Milwaukee fourth-place in the regular season, and a trip to the Midwest RFU playoffs vs. the top-seeded Kansas City Blues on May 16.
