SPORTS NOTEBOOK: Rugby dominates at home


by Jun Yang

This past weekend in Dallas, Rugby President Tell Bennett, senior captain Blake Hutchinson, seniors Pete Marketos, Marshall Pounds, Mike Dowling, Shoney Katz, and junior Roscoe Ahn participated in the Western Selects Championships.

The Rice team members played on the Texas Union All-Stars team which placed third.

Bennett said, "The Texas side played some of its best rugby when several Rice players were involved in the match, so we expect some of the Rice guys to be selected for the Western All-Star Team."

The other members of the team hosted St. Thomas University and handily defeated them 48-5 with senior Luis Acosta and juniors Chris Blache, Ron Lafond, Todd Haskins and Mike Munson each scoring.

Blache said, "Even with the team missing seven starters, we still dominated."

This week the Owls head north to Austin to face the University of Texas on Saturday night under the lights at the UT soccer field.
