DIA Rugby News
The tiny yet massive Mid-South kicks off this weekend as Goff Rugby Report #5 Lindenwood faces #4 Life University in Marietta, Ga.
Life is coming off a series of big blowouts of good programs such as South Carolina, Clemson, and Air Force. But the Running Eagles coaching staff will likely be more interested in how the team handled a much closer clash with Navy.
The Big Game of the week was, of course, BYU v St. Mary's, and it didn't disappoint, with BYU holding on for a 30-29 victory.
St. Mary's, by virtue of being close, moves up one and Life moves down one, but we know those could shift again.
Saturday’s BYU v St. Mary’s game was clearly of interest to anyone trying to track the best in men’s DI college rugby.
The score - 30-29 for BYU - was clearly an indication of how close these two programs can be. But it’s also worth considering that BYU led 27-15 60 minutes into the game, and looked like they could control things from there. They didn’t.
LSU is in an excellent position to win the Red River Conference after beating previously undefeated Oklahoma 43-12 Saturday.
The Tigers broke open a fairly close game just before halftime with a try from prop Christian Brower that, with fullback Alec Miller’s conversion, made it 22-7.
Moraga, Calif.- BYU edged St. Mary’s 30-29 in a weird game Saturday in Moraga.
The Cougars looked much the stronger side in the first 65-70 minutes, but a late surge by the Gaels put the result in doubt.
