GRR: College Men
Grand Canyon University got on the field this past weekend with a hugely successful trip to San Diego.
Former United States Merchant Marina Academy rugby player Adam Satterfield was one of two US Marines killed Friday in a helicopter crash during a training exercise.
Satterfield was a standout lock forward for Kings Point, graduating from the Academy in 2011.
Texas A&M defeated TCU 29-13 Saturday in a very scrappy and somewhat uneven Red River Conference game.
The victory put A&M at 3-1 and almost guarantees the Aggies will finish 2nd in the conference behind Oklahoma, who finished their conference play in the fall and went 5-0.
After an impressive opening salvo against Western Oregon, the Western Washington Vikings had a lot more trouble playing Oregon on the road this week in Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference action.
WWU seemed a little run down after a long bus ride to Eugene, but came away with an 18-15 victory over the ducks.
The first week of the Pacific West men’s collegiate conference is in the books.
