GRR: Mary Washington
The Rugby East once again is the competitive gift that keeps on giving as we get exciting and interesting results, and always a few surprises.
Men's D1-level games this weekend were punctuated by non-conference games of differing levels of importance.
Some of the games this week were modified games or scrimmages, but we also had full-on games that served as preseason warmups. But what is additionally worth noting is these games cross conference boundaries, giving fans an idea of where those conferences sit competitively.
Here's the latest from the D1A playoffs in the Eastern bracket.
Navy scored early, gave up a try on a chargedown, and then kept the pressure in winning 41-7 over Mary Washington.
Saturday was a full day of rugby in Knoxville, Tenn. as Mary Washington and Lindenwood traveled to play with University of Tennessee.
While the marquee game was Lindenwood's A-side against UMW, there were other games, as well, giving over 120 college rugby players important game time.
Top-20 D1A teams Lindenwood and Mary Washington met at a neutral site in Knoxville Tenn. (note state abbreviation style) with the Lions coming away with a rain-soaked shutout victory.
On what was a torrentially rainy day the two sides looked to rely on their forwards to do a lot of the heavy lifting.
