Villanova Impressive as they Join Scranton at 5-0

With the victory Villanova is now 5-0 in conference play.

"There wasn’t one standout as the boys played a very uniform level of rugby," said captain Tom Dugan, who added that the 10 tries scored by the Wildcats were scored by nine players.

Defense was just as impressive, with Bobby Fooskas, Jakub Pochron, and Dan Feiner playing srong defense and forcing Salisbury into miscues, and backs such as Cal Smith, Owen O’Keefe, and Rob MacLehose taking advantage to put the Sharks under pressure.

"They put constant pressure on Salisbury’s offensive and defensive structure," said Dugan. "Salisbury has a physical team and played well; they just committed errors in the wrong places at the wrong times."

There's not that much difference between the two leaders (Loyola is the top D2 team in the MARC South at 4-1, but Catholic University, a D3 team, is actually 5-0)—Scranton is 5-0 with an average score of 57-6, and Villanova is 5-0 with an average score of 56-11.

Next up is the MARC"s notoriously fickle playoffs.
