INDIANAPOLIS - On Saturday October 14, the Marian rugby program will host the quarterfinal round of the Big Rivers Rugby Conference Tournament. The Knights are hosting the entire quarterfinal round on Saturday afternoon, with three matches taking place at St. Vincent Field.

All three games of the quarterfinal round on Saturday will be played on St. Vincent Field, to preserve the Marian rugby pitch due to the forecasted rain throughout the end of the week. Saturday's first game will start at 4 p.m. following the Marian men's soccer match which begins at 1 p.m., with Iowa Central Community College taking on Thomas More. The schedule will roll after the first match, with Aquinas slotted to take on Wheeling University at 6 p.m., with the Knights finishing the day at 8 p.m. with their matchup against Thomas More.

Marian's matchup against Rio Grande will be their first of the season. Marian finished second in the regular season standings, with Wheeling placing third and Iowa Central finishing fourth. Principia, who handed Marian their only defeat of the season so far, finished first and earned a bye for the quarterfinal round. Thomas More is the fifth seed in the tournament, followed by Rio Grande in sixth and Aquinas as the seventh. 

This season Marian is the highest scoring team in the Big Rivers Rugby Conference, totaling 151 points on the year. The next closest team is Principia, who has scored 77 points. 

Marian is 4-1 overall on the year and 2-1 in BRRC play.

For the event on Saturday, a food truck will be on site throughout the day in the north bowl of the stadium for fans to enjoy. The truck will be available through the end of the Marian match, and will open prior to 4 p.m.
