The undefeated Cougars fought back an aggressive offense from the CWU Wildcats throughout the game and sustained several injuries. Despite the setbacks, the Cougars played hard the entire 80 minutes and scored consistently.
Both teams had great defense, but BYU played really well and kept CWU at bay most of the time, said David Smyth, BYU rugby head coach. Even when our players were hurt they turned in a winning performance. Nothing stands between us now and the final championship game.
Linehan, a scrum half affectionately known as Jonny Rugby by fans, is a New Zealand native and All-American. He scored the first try of the game. CWU then took the game up a notch and scored a try but were only able to get in a penalty kick for the remainder of the game. Other BYU players who scored include Joshua Whippy, Joe Pikula, Ryan Blaser and Arawa Elkington, who scored an especially impressive try of a stolen CWU pass.
Central Washington s front line was strong, Linehan said. Our forwards and backs communicated really well throughout the match allowing several us Cougars to score. Being able to play at South Field with our loyal crowd helped us big time.
Fans from both teams filled the South Field, cheering loudly for their respective team. Among the fans were close to 100 past BYU Rugby players air filters who were there as part of the BYU Rugby 50 th Anniversary air filters Celebration festivities. They flooded the field during halftime and were honored by current team members and fans alike.
We want to thank everyone who has contributed to this team s legacy and made BYU rugby what it is today, Smyth said. Whether current air filters team members, past players or fans, we couldn t do it without air filters you.
