Louisiville Coach Collapses During Game
There was a scary moment during the Mid-American Conference 3rd-4th game on Sunday when Louisville Head Coach Emil Walton collapsed while patrolling the sideline.
Walton was taken to the hospital and at first no one knew what had happened or if he will be OK.
Both Louisville and IUPUI teams gathered on the field during the stop in action.
IUPUI Player Beats Health Scare To Star For Team
Zach Marsh scored four tries for IUPUI as they beat Miami of Ohio, and that's pretty good news for the freshman, but it was not the best news he got this past week; being upright was.
On October 12, Marsh played a full 80 minutes against Bowling Green. After the game he started feeling pain in his chest.
MAC Latest: Big Wins For BGSU, IUPUI, Louisville
Louisville, IUPUI, and Bowling Green all won convincing victories in the opening weekend of the Mid-American Conference in Men's DIAA rugby action.
Defending USA Rugby Fall DIAA champion Bowling Green cruised by Dayton, as expected, winning 67-5. Less expected, perhaps, was IUPUI's debut in the conference, a 38-0 shutout of Cincinnati.
IUPUI Stars Strong, Joining MAC
IUPUI opened up its new DI season with a 19-13 defeat of Purdue this past weekend.
Head coach Joe Richards said it was a nice confidence-builder for the program, but not to read too much into the result.
The game was not particularly tidy and both teams looked like exactly what they were — athletic college players who had just returned to campus.
IUPUI Picking Up Notable Recruits
IUPUI, after making a strong run to the national DII playoffs, is making a push on the recruiting side, too.
The Indiana school's leadership is working closely with the Eagle Impact Rugby Academy Midwest program, and several players from that successful EIRA Midwest team are looking to join IUPUI rugby.
