Iona College men's rugby team had a record of 4-3 in conference and 7-4 overall in 2015, finishing 5th in Rugby East under head coach Bruce McLane. Three all-conference performers from 2015 are returning, but the team graduated much of its leadership and will field a younger forward pack. Iona will face a challenging schedule starting with a rematch against Army, seeking redemption for Iona's upset victory last year, and five tough conference matches to start the season before a bye week. Coach McLane hopes two home matches against Penn State and others can showcase great rugby action and kick off a less daunting second half.
