GRR: St. Mary's
The "Battle in the Bay" college 7s tournament will pitch-up for its second year October 25-26 at Treasure Island in San Francisco, and will do so with an impressive lineup of teams.
Arizona, Oregon, University of British Columbia, University of Utah, and University of Washington all show up this year and fill out the field to 16.
Center or wing, it doesn’t seem to matter these days, Kingsley McGowan is just happy to be on the field, and rugby fans are happy he is, too.
In a way the above photo embodies the story of the the Gaels, as Alec Barton got little time on the field in the early games, but ended up scoring the game-clinching try in the DIA Final in May. Meanwhile, (click on smaller photo) Joey Reavey helped St. Mary's through a busy fall 7s season that culminated in a 2nd-place finish to Arkansas State.
