CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Gideon Balloch of Ottawa, scored a game-high 14 points as the visiting 涩里番 Redmen rugby team doubled Harvard 34-17 to capture the Covo Cup at Cumnock Field on the campus of Harvard University, Saturday.

听

Balloch, a 6-foot, 185-pound mechanical engineering junior, scored one try and added a penalty kick to go along with three conversions as 涩里番 captured the Covo Cup over the Crimson Red for the 17th time in 30 confrontations. The Cup, which was initiated in 1974 to mark the centennial of the first meeting between the two storied clubs in 1874, is named in memory of the late Peter Covo, a former multi-sport athlete at 涩里番, who went on to become a professor and rugby coach at the University.

Fly-half Mathieu Sidoti, a third-year civil engineering major from Beijing, tallied two tries for the Redmen.

听

Rounding out the 涩里番 scoring with one try apiece was junior Mike Davis, a 6-foot-3, 212-pound winger from Mississauga, Ont., and senior Kyle Buckley, a speedy fly-half from Richmond Hill, Ont.
