Saint Mary's took on the Aggies of UC Davis for the first league match of the collegiate rugby season on Feb. 2. The Gaels defense proved to be too much for the Aggies as SMC shut them out for an 81-0 victory in the A side match and an 85-17 victory in the B side match.
SMC followed up with a strong showing on Feb. 6 at Stanford. The first half was highlighted by the fact that six different players from the Gaels found the try zone and freshmen Dylan Auslie made five of his six conversion kicks to give the Gael's a 40-5 lead. Saint Mary's continued its strong defensive play in the second half, extending the lead to 75-5. The SMC B side also had a great outing, winning 58-0.
The Gaels now look forward to their next league game at Sacramento State.
