The Brock men's rugby team's season came to an end at home on Saturday.

Brock lost 39-29 to the RMC Paladins at Brock Rugby Field.

Zachary White, Liam Boeyenga, Zacharias (Zach) Zorbas, Connor Butler and Steven Medvesky each recorded a try for the Badgers. Carter Bondy added two converts.

After starting the season with a 50-0 victory over Toronto, the Badgers finished 1-7.

"I would say this was a rebuilding year and although we were challenged by our age and depth, it definitely will be a positive thing in the near future," said head coach Phil Sullivan. "A lot of guys in first and second year got significant playing time with the varsity team. They got used to the pace and physicality of the OUA game and our program will be better for it going forward."

First-year players Boeyenga and Devon Ollson each played in every game this year.

Brock's graduating players include Evan Stacey, Brendan Long, Steve Hanzidiakou, Jeremy Barlow and Matt Kerekes.
