UC Davis made something of a statement this past weekend with a 53-7 win over Sacramento State.
And while Sac State is going through some rebuilding, the Hornets are no pushovers. The Aggies were just good out of the blocks.
Central Washington University’s men’s team took a trip south to the San Francisco Bay Area to play Olympic Club in a warmup game for both teams.
It was a useful test for the Wildcats are they needed to get outside and play some tough, experienced competition. Olympic Club came away 19-15 winners at the Cal Maritime Academy campus.
LSU notched an impressive non-conference victory Saturday with a 55-12 defeat of Alabama.
The University of Washington improved to 3-0 in the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference (NCRC) with a 28-5 defeat of Oregon Saturday.
St. Mary’s held off a determined Lindenwood University 24-13 on a wet Saturday in Moraga, Calif.
The touring Lindenwood team started well, kicking a penalty goal thanks to freshman flyhalf Tadhg Leader, and then seeing loose forward and captain Sebastian Kalm cut in nicely on a support line, take the offload, and power through several Gaels tackles for a try next to the posts.
