QUINCY, MA - The Brown University men's rugby team turned scrum dominance into a 52-7 victory over Dartmouth on Saturday, Nov. 7, in Quincy, Mass., breaking the match open with two first-half pushover tries. The win secured the inaugural FirstPoint USA Scholars Cup, the Ivy League championship, and the Division 1 Liberty Rugby Conference championship.
Brown's forward pack supplied the foundation for the seven-try performance, winning four penalties and one free kick from scrums. The pack also produced three pushover tries, two against Dartmouth put-ins and one from Brown's own scrum. Captain Tito Edjua finished with 17 points, making three penalty kicks and four conversions.
Edjua opened the scoring with penalties at 4:30 and 13:00 before Erik Estienne delivered the first try at 19:00. Estienne scored from a diverted lineout-maul play 10 meters out, stretching Brown's advantage to 11-0. Dartmouth received a yellow card two minutes later for hitting Edjua while he was airborne catching the ball.
Harry de Rosee then twice finished Brown's scrum pressure. The first pushover try came at 25:00 from a Dartmouth put-in five meters out, and the second followed at 36:00 from a Brown put-in at the same distance. Edjua converted both, sending Brown into halftime ahead 25-0 after keeping Dartmouth scoreless throughout the opening half.
The lineout provided another attacking platform after the break. Inigo Langford scored at 50:45 following a maul 25 meters out, spinning out of a tackle and outrunning the remaining defenders to the corner. Edjua added a penalty at 58:30 before Rowe Stodolnic finished another pushover scrum try from a Dartmouth put-in 10 meters out at 62:00, extending the lead to 38-0.
St John Smith found an open route through Dartmouth's defense at 70:30, taking a pass from Malcolm Grant and running untouched to score. Edjua's conversion made it 45-0. Brown held Dartmouth off the scoreboard until 77:30, when its opponent scored its only try and added the conversion.
De Rosee completed the hat trick at 80:00 following a lineout 40 meters out. As Brown attempted to form a maul, Dartmouth backed away, leaving space for de Rosee to turn and run through for a third try and 15th point. Edjua converted to complete the scoring.
With the victory, the Brown caps off a 6th straight undefeated regular season and earn a bye in the National College Rugby Division 1 Championship tournament. The Bears next take the field at Manchester Meadows Field in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Saturday, November 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM, and streamed on NCR against the winner of the NCR Play-in Round match between the Royals of Queens University and the Fairfield University Stags. The Brown Men's Rugby team has history with both of their potential opponents, having been Liberty Conference opponents with Fairfield and beating them every year since Brown joined the conference in 2022, and having defeated Queens in NCR D1 National Championship matches in 2022 and 2024.
