The success of the 2017 Ariel Re Bermuda Sevens was ultimately awarded to the winners Kutztown University and the West Chester High School Boys, but their were several other success stories worth mentioning. The continued rise of the Bermuda programs had all spectators talking during the event as the collegiate men made it one step further than their surprise finish in 2016 making it to the final in 2017. Ironically, the 2017 Cup Final was a rematch of the 2016 3rd Place match won by Bermuda by a score of 15-10. The win in '16 shocked the collegiate world.
