This past spring, Love played in two 7's matches against SUNY Oneonta and a 15's match against SUNY New Paltz. Against SUNY New Paltz, Love made 4 tackles and rucked out 7 offensive balls. His defining moments were in the scrum, however. Out of 5 offensive scrums, Love successful hooked back 5 balls, retaining possession on each one. Looking ahead to the fall 2017 season, Love will return to the team as a junior and still the only hooker on the squad. As most rugby players say, support your local hooker, play rugby!
