Arizona State University finished off their 15s season with a high, beating Ohio State 59-0 in impressive fashion in their second-annual Rugby Bowl.
The Rugby Bowl is a special event started by Arizona State to highlight one game a year in a high-level venue and showcase the game. Last year, ASU played BYU.
Miami of Ohio came from almost out of the blue to win the MAC 7s this past weekend, and they admit it was a bit of a surprise.
“We didn’t play well last weekend,” said Miami Coach Jared Moore.
The first big college 7s championship weekend is slated for April 25 in Virginia Beach as the ACRC 7s Championships for both men and women kick off.
