Michigan Faces Notre Dame in Olde Blue Weekend Matchup

Junior Conor McNabnay runs with the ball versus Notre Dame on September 16, 2022

Michigan faces Notre Dame at Mitchell Field tonight. The games are part of the festivities for Olde Blue Weekend, Michigan Rugby’s annual alumni event.

5:30pm: Women on East/Main Field
5:30pm: Men 2nd Side on West Field
7:00pm: Men First Side on East/Main Field

Michigan’s Women’s team is ranked third in the country in National Collegiate Rugby Division 1. This is their first Big Ten game of the fall.

The men’s team is also playing their first Big Ten game of the season. They lost to Notre Dame in an exhibition in South Bend last week, but this game is the one that counts towards Big Ten East standings.

The men are looking to build on their 15-11-1 all-time record versus Notre Dame in 15s. However, Notre Dame has been the better team in the past few years, and a win tonight would be Michigan’s first since 2015.
