Saint Mary's Rugby took on a very aggressive Arkansas State team on Saturday, May 12th at Pat Vincent field in Moraga. This is the third year in a row the Gaels have matched up with Arkansas State in the National Championship playoffs, and they fell 31-17.
SMC was down 12-0 with about 20 minutes left in the first half when the Gaels scored two tries to bring the score to 14-12 at halftime. SMC scored on a penalty kick to take the lead, 17-12 for most of the second half. However, the Red Wolves scored to tie it up at 17-17. ASU rode the momentum to take the lead and the win, 31-17. The Red Wolves advance to the National Championship in Salt Lake City where they will face BYU.
The Gaels finished the year as one of the top four teams in the nation.
