GRR: University of Kentucky
College Rugby got its kick off this past weekend with Marian University taking on the University of Kentucky in a preseason scrimmage.
While the final score was 52-7 for Kentucky, that scoreline is a little misleading.
Down 20-17 Saturday against Kentucky, the University of Tennessee, after some sustained pressure, got a penalty right in front of the posts.
Kentucky is looking for another conference title and took a big step forward this past weekend with a 40-12 defeat of Alabama.
But UK will get a good challenge in the DIAA SCRC from Tennessee, which defeated DIA Notre Dame 31-12, and who also beat Memphis on the same Saturday. But there’s another challenge lurking.
Ohio State University defeated Lindenwood-Belleville to take the Mooseman 7s at Middle Tennessee State University Saturday.
Tennessee and Alabama will meet next week for the SCRC championship after both won their semifinals this weekend.
