Rugby - National Runner Up

On Thursday, May 19th, Rugby traveled to Moose Rugby Grounds in Elkhart, Indiana to compete in Rugby Nationals. Gonzaga was seeded as the overall 2 seed in the tournament. 

Rugby defeated Greenwich 57-5 in the quarterfinals. The following day, May 20th, the Eagles defeated Herriman 32-14 to advance to the Rugby Nationals Final for the 13 straight time. 

On Saturday, May 21st, Gonzaga faced St. Ignatius (OH). Gonzaga trailed 17-0 at halftime. Coach Baggetta's team would fight back and close the gap, but unfortunately would not have enough to overcome the huge deficit and fell 23-14. 

To recap the season, Rugby won the MAVRC Championship, Gonzaga Rugby Classic, and finished 2nd overall in Nationals. 

This will conclude Rugby's 2022 season. Congratulations to all the coaches and players on a great year. Follow Gonzaga Rugby on Instagram.
