USA Rugby hosted the Collegiate National Championship of Seven's Rugby in College Station, Texas the first weekend in December. Last year, the Gaels finished fifth out of the top 24 schools in the country and this year's team looked to improve on that record.
SMC started their pool play Nov. 30, beating Western Washington, Bowling Green, and ending the day with a win over Texas A&M. Finishing the day 3-0 automatically put the Gaels into the quarterfinals against Navy.
The Gaels used finesse to out-score Navy 22-10 on Dec. 1.
Saint Mary's then advanced to the semifinals against Life College of Atlanta. Life College won the National Championships last year. Despite a tough effort, SMC fell 33-0. They lost the consolation game against Delaware, earning them the fourth place finish.
Saint Mary's finished their Sevens season with a record of 22-5 overall.
