BU Defeats Brandeis 46-16

A HUGE 46-16 victory for BU over Brandeis last night at Nickerson Field.

BU got started early with two tries from both Tyler Ierardi and Fernando Torres to take the big lead and they never looked back.

After getting shut out in the first half Brandeis finally scored in the second half, but it was too little too late. Sam Adams and Carlos Salazar each added tries in the second half to bury Brandeis and finish off the game for BU.

Even on the cold and windy night, the dedicated BU rugby fans filled the stands at Nickerson to cheer the team on.

BU looks to build on their early success when they host an always competitive Harvard team next Saturday night at Nickerson.
