Rugby

Swig was one of the many alumni and donors to make the The Brown Rugby Field possible.  The field was dedicated on October 16, 2004 with Ronald Dalgliesh ’91, then current Brown Sports Foundation Executive Director, presiding over the ceremony. An additional dedication was held on October 16, 2010 in a ceremony that unveiled the permanent plaque naming the field after David Zucconi who was the founder of Brown Rugby in 1960 and who also served as an executive in Brown’s Sports Foundation over the last 40 years.
