On October 29th, 2025, MSU Rugby lost our Rugby Brother, Dr. James "BIG PETE" Petersen. He was not only the most important and dynamic figure the club has ever had, but was the heart of MSU Rugby for over 47 years. He was loved by all and will be missed.

A wonderful group of former teammates and players from the MSU Men's and Women's Rugby Team came together on Nov. 22nd at the South Street Saloon to share our love for Big Pete. We thank all of you who shared in the TOAST where every you were and the alumni that traveled great distances to be with us that night.
