(University of Utah Release) – After a very successful return to collegiate Rugby in both 15s and 7s following a two-year suspension enforced by the University, University of Utah Men's Rugby is making some changes.
Life University and Saint Mary’s will meet each other once more for the DIA championship, marking the fourth year in a row that these two schools will meet for the top prize in college rugby.
Life rode a superb defensive performance to a 41-7 victory over Lindenwood.
Men’s DI College 15s rugby is very quiet this weekend, so the two games of note better make some noise.
Saint Mary’s hosts Utah in one semi. Saint Mary’s looked shaky at times through the season. The Gaels pushed BYU 30-29 early in the season, but on a two-game trip to Utah lost big to those same Cougars and almost lost to Utah in a 57-50 barnburner.
On a rainy Saturday night in Salt Lake City, the University of Utah defeated the University of Arizona 36-14 to advance to the DIA semifinals.
Arizona broke out with a try and a penalty to lead 8-0, and while Taylor Thomas put in a try for the Utes, Arizona stayed ahead with another penalty to make it 11-5 at halftime.
