SARANAC LAKE — The 48th annual Can-Am Rugby Tournament capped off on Sunday with a bigger crowd than last year.

The tournament, which held games in Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, saw more than 90 teams competing this past weekend. Last year, the tournament was limited to just 50 teams.

The rugby tournament concluded with championship games in the men’s and women’s divisions.

Montclair defeated the Lumberjacks, 36-14 in the men’s social division. While in the men’s club division, the War Pigs defeated Myths and Legends 17-10. In the women’s division, Beantown defeated Team Pretty, 19-0.

The Saranac Lake Mountaineers, the host club, competed in men’s social and club divisions as well as in the women’s tournament. The Mountaineers Old Boys, aka the MOB, also competed in the tournament.
