UVU a good first outing!

It seems a good tradition. The first game of every season has been vs. UVU. Saturday was a perfect rugby day the sun was out the wind stayed away, all in all optimal rugby day. St George started out strong scoring a try within the first few minutes of the match. That woke the Wolverines up then, and the match intensified. The Wolverines moved the ball well and put tremendous pressure on St George who struggled a bit with defensive rucking, It remained a very close game until the 3rd forty minute period. The wolverines saw St George come into their own game moving the ball decisively and effectively. Both Villi Hafoka, and Jordan Palmer scoring almost at will. The newcomers (Michael Mortensen and Tanner Torres) showed great motivation and determination in defense and offense, Welcome! All told the knights had a tremendous game holding their own against a nationally ranked university team. I am grateful for the young men who come ready to work, to practice, learn, and grow in this sport. Alis Aquilae!
