DIA Rugby News
Rugby is a team game, but the presence or absence of one player can have an impact.
Life University escaped an intense battle with Davenport University Saturday, kicking a penalty goal with no time left to win the opening match in the Mid-South Conference 28-25.
Non-conference games of rankings importance, conference games of conference importance, and maybe a few also-rans mark this week in DI men's college rugby.
Top of the rankings, #2 BYU plays at #3 St. Mary's, and #12 Utah is at #5 Cal, while #7 Davenport visits #1 Life. That's an impressive list of matchups.
It’s the opening of the small but intense DIA Mid-South Conference, and a clash between Goff Rugby Report’s #1 team, Life University, and the #7 squad, Davenport.
So, basically, it has everything.
Davenport University has been training outside exactly once in the last few months, but it was enough to propel them to an improbable victory over Arkansas State in Jonesboro, Ark. Saturday.
