GRR: College Men
The Panther 7s U23 men won the Tropical 7s Men's U23/College bracket Saturday, taking Life University down 20-0 after going 5-0 in Pool Play.
Here's a look at what happened in men's college rugby this weekend.
IUPUI won a close game over Bowling Green 26-20. Details >>
IUPUI defeated Bowling Green 26-20 Saturday in the first game for each team in well over a year.
For IUPUI this was a victory in several senses of the word as the Jaguars had to battle through losing a coach and dealing with a recalcitrant school administration.
"We got denied three times to have games," said club president Spencer Strout. "But we kept coming back."
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, wrote the poet Robert Burns, and it's very true this rugby season as college team upon college team has put games on its schedule only to have to cancel them because one team isn't ready, or the other team has a problematic COVID test.
Easter weekend doesn’t see a break in college rugby, as not only does the Mid-South stay active, but a few programs long quiet are back on the field.
