GRR: 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.
In a clash of two D1A Rugby East teams moving up the ladder, Mary Washington defeated Mount St. Mary's 39-20.
Mary Washington defeated Belmont Abbey 36-11 Saturday in a non-conference early-season warmup for both.
Mary Washington is one of those teams that plays a fall league schedule but has looked for more 15s matches in the spring, too, and Saturday the Mothers defeated the University of Guelph out of Ontario, Canada in a good contest for both teams.
