Lady Stallions Win Girls Fall 7s in Utah
The Orem Lady Stallions galloped past the opposition to win the 2015 Utah Youth Rugby Girls HS Fall 7s, finishing off the series with another undefeated run and another cup win.
The Lady Stallions knocked out rivals United 28-5 in the semifinal of the 4th tournament in the Utah Fall Series, and then slammed Herriman 38-5 in the final.
Orem was all but assured of their Series and State Championship title going into the 4th Leg of the series, but an unbeaten record was at stake. Both United and Herriman had tested Orem in previous legs, but Orem proved once again that they are the best Varsity Girls team in Utah. The battle for silver in the series was a tough battle between Herriman and United, but Herriman prevailed when they beat United in pool play, thus forcing United to face Orem in the cup semifinal. Herriman finished series runners-up ahead of United by just 4 series points.
Wasatch High School finally took home some silverware on Saturday when they gave a solid on-field performance against a young and growing TC Fusion side in the Varsity B Cup Final. Wasatch HS secured their first tournament cup with a 50–7 win over TC Fusion. Wasatch HS is an athletic new team that is growing in stature managing to place as high is 6th in Leg 3.
Herriman White picked up vital points by securing a Varsity Division quarterfinal spot in Leg 4. Although they lost that game to Wasatch of Murray 28-0, Herriman White picked up enough series points to secure the Varsity B Series Championship. TC Fusion were the Varsity B Series runners-up.
The Utah Youth Rugby High School Fall 7s Series was held over four tournaments on September 19, September 26, October 24 and October 31. Each tournament comprised seeded pool play matches followed by play offs with teams competing for series points. Tournament cup wins secured teams the maximum number of series points available for the tournament. The lower teams finished in each tournament, the fewer the number of series points earned. Teams tied with series points were separated by the teams’ aggregate points’ difference.
