GRR: St. Mary's
St. Mary's opened up their two-date tour of Arizona with an impressive 73-7 defeat of the University of Arizona Wildcats Friday night in Tucson.
Arizona was missing four players who are at the USA U20 camp, however, this was still a solid Gaels outing. St. Mary's led 30-7 at halftime and exploded for 43 unanswered points in the second half.
St. Mary’s got a bit of a wakeup call this weekend as the Gaels went down 44-3 to the San Francisco Golden Gate men’s club.
This result came after a string of pre-season victories over collegiate opponents. St. Mary’s Head Coach Tim O’Brien said the performance was frustrating - not so much because his team lost, but rather the manner in which they lost.
St. Mary's opened up their season this weekend with a convincing 50-7 victory over San Francisco State.
The Gaels also won the B-side game as the two-time defending DIA champions look ahead to a very challenging schedule that includes, of course, California Conference opponents San Diego State, UCSB, Santa Clara, and Cal Poly.
A couple of weeks ago Goff Rugby Report named our College Player of the Year.
That was Kyle Sumsion, the captain and flanker for BYU. It meant we needed to name a Back of the Year, and this week that player gets his due.
St. Mary’s University almost made. Through a long 15s season they eventually produced a DIA championship, and then through Saturday at the USA Rugby College 7s Championships in Denver, they were undefeated and in with an excellent chance of winning the Cup.
