GRR: Navy
The home teams held on to advance in the Eastern Bracket of the D1A playoffs and defense was part of the story.
Winning teams held their opponents to a total of five tries. That doesn't mean the games weren't competitive. One was a major runaway, but for the most part the lower seeds provided a tough challenge.
It wasn't easy but Navy got out of Emmetisburg, Md. with a win over Mount St. Mary's Saturday.
Navy pulled off a bit of a surprise result Saturday.
Navy pulled away from BYU in the middle portion of they game to win a high-ranking D1A match that signaled to many that both mean business.
Navy improved to 10-1 overall, with their only loss being a 23-20 decision to Life, while BYU gets their first loss of the fall and is now 5-1.
A late penalty goal from flyhalf Bradley Crane saw Life University edged Navy in Annapolis Saturday in a game between two of the top teams in Rugby East.
