CSU polo team to unveil championship banner


The CSU men's varsity polo team practices at the B.W. Pickett Equine Center arena October 02, 2013.
Kareem Rosser, the 2105 Intercollegiate Player of the Year, returns for the CSU polo team.

The CSU men’s polo team will be hosting a party 16 years in the making when it plays Roger Williams University in a 7 p.m. Oct. 30 match at the B.W. Pickett Arena, part of CSU’s Equine Center on the Foothills Campus.

Rams polo, part of CSU’s highly successful sport clubs program, will be raising its 2015 national championship banner to the arena rafters in a pre-match ceremony. The Rams, who won national titles in 1990, ’91 and ’99, won the 2015 championship match last spring, 20-17, over Texas A&M.

The Rams should be in great position to win back-to-back titles as all three starting varsity players return. Kareem Rosser, recently voted 2015 Intercollegiate Player of the Year by the U.S. Polo Association, joins Alex Kokesh and Jered Berg in the starting lineup for the Rams.

Brotherly love

Roger Williams University, located in Bristol, R.I., is a first-year program led by Daymar Rosser, Kareem’s younger brother.

Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for adults, with kids under age 12 admitted free of charge.
