GRR: Walsh University
Two play-in spots are decided in NCR's D1 after Saturday's games.
Both of the Rugby East teams in action Saturday won. St. Bonaventure beat Dartmouth and Walsh beat Indiana. Kutztown plays Wheeling on Sunday.
Navy continued their winning ways with a 40-11 defeat of Walsh University Saturday in Rugby East action.
As has been their script throughout the fall, Navy absorbed some pressure and battled through some difficult times before opening up the spigot in the final quarter. The game overall was much closer than the final score suggests.
Walsh University logged the program’s first ever conference win Friday night, beating Belmont Abbey 25-10 on a rainy night in North Canton, Ohio.
The game was a lot closer than the score indicates. Belmont caused Walsh all sorts of trouble in the breakdowns and threatened constantly to overhaul the Cavaliers.
In a remarkable display in their first ever rugby game, Walsh University secured a resounding victory over Thomas More, winning the preseason match 62-10.
Walsh University has announced its coaching leadership team for its new rugby programs.
