GRR: Navy
For the first time in the history of the Varsity Cup, Navy will not be in the semifinals, as Arkansas State ran out to a 24-0 halftime lead, and held off a Midshipmen surge to win the quarterfinal 31-24.
"We knew what we needed was a good defensive game plan and devotion to the defensive structure," said ASU Head Coach Shaun Potgieter. " In the first half we did that very well."
We're into the Quarterfinals of the Varsity Cup, and the games are a little tougher to pick, with an expectation that a couple, as least, will be close.
Here’s a quick rundown of the Varsity Cup games this weekend.
BYU smacked Arizona State 113-8 Saturday night to finish off the day's VC games.
The month of April is around the corner and that means playoff time in college rugby, including the Varsity Cup.
A 70th minute try from fullback Jake Lachina was the only try of a torrid second half as West Point defeated Navy 27-22 in the annual Army-Navy game.
The try was Lachina’s fourth of the day, as the wing scored three tries before the 15th minute.
