SMU rugby ready to rumble

The SMU rugby team is back in action, which also means team nights at OT Tavern are back, and it’s looking to be a great season.

The Mustangs took on the University of North Texas Eagles at their first home game of the season Wednesday night at Glencoe Park.

The game was split into three 30 minute matches with the Mustangs winning 7-0 in the first round, UNT taking the lead in the second round with a 17-0 streak, and the Mustangs leading 7-5 in the final round. Junior Oliver Sybert scored both of the goals for the Mustangs. The final combined score was 22-14, with the Eagles taking the win.

Despite the loss, the Mustangs played a great game and said they appreciated just being there, having fun and playing with the newest members of their team.

“I thought we all played really well,” said James Robison, team captain. “This was a lot of people’s first time out playing and they looked pretty good, so I’m excited to see what this season brings.”

After the game the Mustangs headed to their favorite bar and hangout, OT Tavern, to spend time with friends and celebrate their team, as has been their ritual for quite a while.

The team’s next home game is October 25 against LeToumeau University.
