ATLANTA — The Charlotte Rugby Football Club won the men's second division championship this weekend in Charlotte, according to a Instagram post on the team's social media page.
The team headed to Atlanta this past weekend after clinching a spot in the Final Four of the National Championship.
Ahead of the championship, head coach Craig Knight told WCNC Charlotte his team was able to beat out two Atlanta teams in the Georgia Rugby Union Championship. They then went on to win in Houston at the Gulf Coast Super Regional which earned them a spot down in Georgia.
The D2 Men Charlotte Rugby Club remains undefeated for the past three years.
"It's huge for us," Knight said. "It's been a three-year journey for us and it was just a culmination of it all. We're very, very proud."
