The lads take on UConn away today! COYB!

Last Friday, in front of alumni, friends, and family, the lads put on a great performance against Binghamton, earning 5 points and gaining some great momentum coming into our last week of league play!

Congratulations to our man of the match .dahlstrom, his second time winning the award in the same number of seasons. A great man and a great showing!

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to support the boys, the energy was amazing and this win is a testament to that. A big thank you as well to Binghamton for making the drive down!

Tomorrow we travel to UConn for our last regular season match of the year hoping to keep our streak alive. More details to come.

Binghamton. Friday night lights. Homecoming. Be there.

What a win! Last Saturday, under an NYC sunset, the lads walked away with 5 points, putting on a great showing against Niagara!

A big happy birthday for our man of the match ! No better way to ring in another lap around the sun, breaking ankles and putting up 5.

As always, a big thank you to Niagara for coming down and for a great match!

This Friday we take on Binghamton at home in our homecoming match, we would love to see you all there!

The lads take on Niagara tomorrow at home! Be there or be 🔳

The lads are heading upstate looking for 5 points against Buffalo tomorrow!

Last week, CURFC incurred a massive loss to our family. Coach William Batista (Coach Bill to us) was many things: a coach, a leader, a mentor, an eloquent speech-giver, and, most importantly, a friend. He was the cornerstone of our team spirit and built the foundation of an incredible team culture. Be it helping with our forwards, coordinating trainings, providing some much needed comic relief, or lending an ear, Coach Bill was an indelible member of our coaching staff and of our team. A veteran of the United States Park Police, he was a model for selfless service and we all hope to be half the man he was. He will be greatly missed on the pitch and on the sidelines.

For the remainder of 2025/26 season, CURFC will adorn black arm bands in his honor, we hope to give him the respect that he doesn’t just deserve but absolutely earned. In addition, CURFC’s first home conference match each year will be designated as The Coach William “Bill” Batista Memorial Match. Likewise, our team spirit award will henceforth be known as The Coach William “Bill” Batista Memorial Award for Team Spirit, honoring both the man he was and the coach he will always be remembered as.

Until we see you again, coach.

The lion hath roared, who will not fear?
