College Men
In a thrilling and wild game at Kennesaw State University, the St. Mary’s Gaels defeated Life University 30-24 in the Men’s DIA College final Saturday.
The game was back and forth all day, and ended with Life right on the St. Mary’s tryline, but the Gaels managed to escape and win it.
The UC Davis Aggies are the Men’s DIAA college champions after defeating Central Florida in a hard slog of a final 18-15 at Kennesaw State University’s Fifth Third Bank Stadium Saturday.
The Aggies had to come back from a 15-3 halftime deficit to do it, but eventually worse down a UCF team used to putting away their opposition early.
Thought for the day - of the four teams that made the top men's college finals (Varsity Cup and DIA), there are eight starters in the halfback combo - four scrumhalves and four flyhalves; of those, only two were born in the USA.
Life's #9 and #10 were both born in Northern Ireland.
Cal's halfbacks are from Hong Kong.
There's the little matter, Saturday, of the DIAA Men's final between UC Davis and Central Florida.
Saturday there’s the little matter of a DIA championship to be figured out.
For the third year in a row, Life University plays St. Mary’s, and perhaps the first hope is that it will be an entertaining, open game. The last two have been marked by aggressive defense, and the idea that the team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.
