Baylor rugby placed third on Saturday at the Red River Collegiate Conference 7’s Championship at Texas Christian University.
In 7’s, the field is more open and the halves are shorter, but the play is much faster. In 15’s, there are more players on the field and the halves are longer.
The team started the tournament strong as it beat the University of Houston 28-0. The momentum of the first game didn’t carry over, as the club fell to Texas A&M in the next game 26-7.
Houston junior inside center and team captain Stewart Morris said Texas A&M was able to take advantage of Baylor’s mistakes, but with some more discipline, the Bears could have had more success.
