Teams' Buildup to Varsity Cup Varies
The month of April is around the corner and that means playoff time in college rugby, including the Varsity Cup.
OU Beats Jamaican National Team
Oklahoma University defeated the Jamaican national team March 17 in the Jamaican capital of Kingston, edging their hosts 23-20.
The match was a tough meeting for both teams - Jamaica beat St. Vincent by 40 points the week before and will be facing Trinidad & Tobago in a World Cup Qualifier.
Oklahoma Thunders Past UNT
The University of Oklahoma defeated North Texas 62-7 Saturday in a nib-conference game on Senior Appreciation Day.
The Sooners, a little stung by their overtime loss in the Big XII 7s last week, bounced back nicely against the Southwest Conference Champions, showcasing some excellent defense and good work in the pack.
Eight Vie for Big XII 7s
The Big XII 7s will kick off Saturday in Norman, Okla., with eight teams vying for a spot in USA Rugby’s College 7s National Championships.
LSU Downs Oklahoma
LSU is in an excellent position to win the Red River Conference after beating previously undefeated Oklahoma 43-12 Saturday.
The Tigers broke open a fairly close game just before halftime with a try from prop Christian Brower that, with fullback Alec Miller’s conversion, made it 22-7.
