GRR: BYU
BYU defeated West Point 71-10 Thursday night in Provo, Utah.
BYU Rugby put an somewhat injury depleted St. Mary’s to the sword Saturday, hammering the Gaels 62-15 at South Field in Provo.
Kevin Schofield once again had a big day scoring, getting his hat trick in the first half to go along with one try from Joe Pikula, and 12 points from the boot of center Calvin Whiting.
Central Washington University put a little bit of a sense of worry in the minds of BYU, but ultimately the Cougars were a little bigger and a little fiercer than the Wildcats and prevailed 58-27 at BYU’s South Field Saturday.
Saturday’s BYU v St. Mary’s game was clearly of interest to anyone trying to track the best in men’s DI college rugby.
The score - 30-29 for BYU - was clearly an indication of how close these two programs can be. But it’s also worth considering that BYU led 27-15 60 minutes into the game, and looked like they could control things from there. They didn’t.
Moraga, Calif.- BYU edged St. Mary’s 30-29 in a weird game Saturday in Moraga.
The Cougars looked much the stronger side in the first 65-70 minutes, but a late surge by the Gaels put the result in doubt.
