Rugby Wins MAVRC, Will Go for National Title
On Friday, May 11, Gonzaga's varsity purple rugby Eagles captured their 7th straight MAVRC Championship with a 26-19 victory over Good Counsel.
Coming out of halftime, the game was tied 12-12, but the Eagles got two second half tries to extend the lead and hold off the Falcons for the victory. "Good Counsel is a very good team," Head Coach Peter Baggetta told Goff Rugby Report. "They are well-coached and well-prepared. They get wrestlers after the wrestling season and they've got one of the top wrestling programs in the region."
