GRR: Towson
Towson University rugby actually welcomes the tough times.
Having to battle Salisbury every year? Great. Losing to Salisbury by two in the conference final? Don’t like it, but OK. Straining every sinew to get past VMI in the play-in? Just what the doctor ordered.
No. 8 Pat McKenna knows.
After a tough two-point loss in the waning minutes of the Potomac Rugby Conference Championship game last weekend, Towson University rebounded to hold off a tough Virginia Military Institute to move on to the National Round of 16.
VMI fielded a very large pack of forwards and how Towson handled their attack was a key component of the game.
Salisbury University scored in the waning minutes to overtake longtime rivals Towson and win the Potomac Men’s DII College Conference championship game 24-22 Saturday.
