GRR: St. Mary's
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.
Saint Mary’s center Dylan Audsley has been named as the first-ever Rudy Scholz Award Winner as the best men’s college rugby player in the country.
The award, presented by the Washington Athletic Club of Seattle, Wash. in conjunction with Goff Rugby Report, will be formally presented at a gala event on June 11.
St. Mary’s joined Lindenwood, Life, and Utah in the DIA semifinals with a convincing 77-17 defeat of Air Force Sunday.
St. Mary’s took one big step toward winning the California Conference once more Saturday with a 100-24 defeat of Santa Clara.
St. Mary’s College is back from its’ tour of New Zealand and just in time to finish off the Gaels’ California Conference schedule.
Santa Clara (Saturday) and Cal Poly (April 9) remain, and Coach Johnny Everett, who accompanied the team to New Zealand, said the trip has re-energized the squad for the coming month of action.
