GRR: Life University
Men’s DI College 15s rugby is very quiet this weekend, so the two games of note better make some noise.
Saint Mary’s hosts Utah in one semi. Saint Mary’s looked shaky at times through the season. The Gaels pushed BYU 30-29 early in the season, but on a two-game trip to Utah lost big to those same Cougars and almost lost to Utah in a 57-50 barnburner.
Air Force defeated Cal Poly 43-17 Saturday in Moraga, Calif. to move on to a DIA quarterfinals Sunday against St. Mary’s.
The game was postponed from last week due to snow in Colorado, and Air Force traveled to Northern California at short notice to play two games in two days.
Life University capped off an undefeated run in the Mid-South DIA season with a 34-0 shutout of Davenport in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Life University clinched 1st in the Mid-South Saturday, but it wasn’t exactly easy.
Playing their first conference game on the road, the Running Eagles needed some last-second heroics to score in the final seconds to win the game.
Life University defeated Arkansas State 32-15 in the annual Curt Huckaby Cup match played between the two teams.
The game is played in honor of ASU rugby program founder and first head coach, Curt Huckaby (see details here).
