As the teams took the field for Cal Poly at Central Washington, CPSLO Head Coach Chris O'Brien looked around and said to himself that the conditions were perfect; then then snow came.
Saint Mary’s broke open a close, back-and-forth game to score four tries in the final 24 minutes and beat BYU 60-28 Saturday in Moraga, Caif.
This is a very exciting weekend in D1A rugby.
Leading the way is likely Life at Lindenwood, which is not a conference game anymore but still a massive rivalry match.
The last two weeks featured over 20 games involving D1A teams and an expansion to the East Coast, which will happen more and more.
We take a look at some of the top performers over the last couple of weeks. Here goes:
Rand Santos, CalSantos orchestrated an impressive showing in Cal's win over UCLA and scored a dynamic try as well.
Western Washington traveled to Grand Canyon over the weekend in a D1AA/D1A crossover match, and while GCU came away with the win, the Vikings have to feel relatively good about it all.
Led by an impressive game from Eli Ashmann, who scored four tries and set up a fifth, Western actually led fairly late in the game 34-31.
