The University of Washington improved to 3-0 in the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference (NCRC) with a 28-5 defeat of Oregon Saturday.
St. Mary’s held off a determined Lindenwood University 24-13 on a wet Saturday in Moraga, Calif.
The touring Lindenwood team started well, kicking a penalty goal thanks to freshman flyhalf Tadhg Leader, and then seeing loose forward and captain Sebastian Kalm cut in nicely on a support line, take the offload, and power through several Gaels tackles for a try next to the posts.
UCLA defeated Arizona State 32-12 in the opening weekend of the PAC Rugby Conference.
Utah also beat Arizona 39-31. Those were the two PAC Conference games this week.
The defending DIAA champion UC Davis Aggies opened up their 2016 season with an impressive 53-7 defeat of Sacramento State.
Despite changing coaches and some upheaval within the team as a result, Davis looked on point as Sacramento State struggled with not having all of their players - classes have not resumed at the school so some players had not returned.
The University of Utah came back with a torrid second half to beat Arizona 39-31 in the opening weekend of PAC Rugby Conference play.
Arizona, which welcomed back four players from the USA U20 camp, stormed to a first=half lead, exposing some weak tackling on the part of the Utes.
But Utah came back in the second half, getting back to their attacking pattern.
