AQ Rugby coaches Lance Hohaia and Dr. Scott Brown had the opportunity to attend the Sports Performance Summit at Northwestern University this weekend, connecting with coaches and practitioners across collegiate and professional sport.

A valuable reminder from the weekend was the importance of exposing our program to different environments, ideas, and standards. Growth comes from continuing to learn, asking better questions, and bringing useful insights back to our student athletes.

Experiences like this help sharpen the way we think, coach, and support the continued growth of our players and program.

A few moments from CRC 7s Nationals last month to close out our 2026 spring season.

Nationals was the visible part. What got us there was the less visible work, early mornings, tough sessions and conversations, long travel weekends, setbacks, and a group willing to keep growing through all of it.

It was a great way to finish the year, but the real value was in everything it took to get there.

We are proud of this group and grateful for everyone who supported AQ Rugby this season.

The Saints finished 3–2 over two days, at the College Rugby Championship 7s Nationals and played some quality rugby along the way. We’ve kept our winning record for four years straight at Nationals.
