GRR: Marian University
College teams got going early this weekend, with several crossover matches and even a conference game.
The college season kicked off this weekend with Kentucky and Marian University meeting up Friday night at Kuntz Stadium in Indianapolis.
A late penalty goal and a follow-up try secured a 27-18 victory for Kentucky over Marian Friday night.
In a remarkable display in their first ever rugby game, Walsh University secured a resounding victory over Thomas More, winning the preseason match 62-10.
Wheeling University raced past Marian 39-30 to win their Big Rivers Conference semifinal Saturday evening in West Virginia.
Wheeling led almost the entire game, but it wasn't until the late minutes of the game that they had a cushion they could be happy with—Marian kept plugging away and would not be dismissed.
