With time winding down in the Arizona State v UCLA PAC Rugby Conference clash Sunday, ASU center Keenan Mayfield scored a try to tie the game, and kicked the conversion to win it, as the Sun Devils took a step closer to potentially finishing 2nd in the conference.
UCLA led 17-10 at halftime and continued to hold the lead late into the game.
