GRR: Arizona State
It was a somewhat quiet weekend in DIAA, but these players made some noise.
Maaveave Petaia, University of WashingtonFormer center and now flanker Petaia scored two tries in a huge win over Oregon State.
Arizona State pulled off a huge victory over Utah to signal, perhaps, the beginning of its comeback to prominence in D1A.
At the center of that effort was Kyson Jester. The outside center scored three tries to lead the Sun Devils.
Arizona State is back. The college program opened up its PAC Rugby Conference season with a 32-27 defeat of Utah Saturday, signalling perhaps a return to the level the Sun Devils enjoyed before a program suspension suffered a couple of years ago.
