Harvey pushed another run across the plate in the 2nd inning on a sacrifice fly by Jason Ecker scoring Will Schubert. Those two runs would be it for the Cavaliers as their bats went quiet the rest of the way.

Harvey Rugby Loses to Fordham Prep
Fordham Prep @ Harvey – April 25, 2012

Harvey’s rugby team put up a good fight Wednesday, but it was the visiting team from Fordham Prep that came out victorious, 32-19.

The match was intense from the opening whistle and the first half saw both squads capitalize on a number of scoring chances.  On the opening kickoff, Sam Seham nailed the Fordham player and it led to an infraction against Prep.  Billy Stapleton converted from 18 meters to give Harvey a three-point lead.  Seven minutes later, Prep responded with some nice open field running and dotted down for an unconverted score.
In the 11th minute, Stapleton converted again to give Harvey a one point lead., but Prep responded again for a try to recapture the lead in the 14th minute.  Fordham looked to pull away with a nice break through Harvey’s backline to make the score Prep 15 Harvey 6.

Following another Stapleton penalty, Harvey had Prep pinned deep.  Off a Prep lineout, Castleton broke through the line and blocked the clearance kick. Seham found glory in the try zone, and after Stapleton’s conversion, Harvey led by one point.

After some more heavy hitting, Prep was able to break through twice more, giving them a halftime lead of 27 to 16.
The second half saw plenty of quality action.  A Stapleton penalty narrowed the deficit to 8 points with 29 minutes left.  For the next 21 minutes, the match remained deadlocked.  JD Schneider and Sam Seham just missed scoring opportunities.  The Cavaliers battled hard but could not find points.  A late Prep try sealed the match with the final score.
Harvey Coach Phil Lazzaro called Prep is “a quality club,” but he was pleased with the efforts of his players. “Their play was solid and consistent, Coach Lazzaro said. “ Lineouts, scrummaging and rucking were all well executed,” he added.
Harvey’s second side team ran hard but fell 29 to 5 to Prep as well.
