GRR: Cardinals Conference
Approval and backing for a college rugby team from the university administration is still a rare and elusive thing, but at some colleges it’s becoming a reality.
In a clash of two of the top teams in the Cardinals Conference, Virginia Military Institute won big over Mary Washington 65-10.
Weather undercut the last big game for VMI, when Hurricane Joaquin flooded out VMI’s clash with Old Dominion; this time, it looks like the Cardinals Conference game of the week will happen.
The University of Mary Washington worked through a muddy, wet day to defeat Radford 29-19 in the opening weekend of the Cardinals Conference season to move to 1-0.
Old Dominion rugby captain and No. 8 Michael Rigual is now back at home after surgery and a stint in intensive care following a vicious beating incurred Nov. 2 in which two of his teammates were also hurt.
