The teams each scored two tries in the second half for a final score of 34-20 in favor of U of Minnesota. The backs neutralized each other with each team having 3 or 4 30-40 meter line breaks but not being able to finish. All 10 tries scored in the game were scored by forwards. A very physical college Rugby game. The Gophers will now play Iowa State, which beat U of Northern Iowa 27-10.
The starting Flankers for the Gophers are Alumni (Ellen Moyer-CMH & Becca Bukvich-Brookfield) and Flynn Dewalt from Menomonee Falls also saw significant action. With the 7 alumni starting for the Badgers we had a strong presence in this game. .
