2017 Spring Men Portal

The season started with a win (after looking great the first 15 minutes or so, ASU took it to us the rest of the half and had a good lead at the half. Conditioning carried us through the second half, and with about 3 minutes left, scored the winning try to win) The next games against top tier teams challenged our confidence, but positively influenced our continued improvement. CSU and Utah State both dropped out of the schedule at the 11th hour, and our inability to find replacement matches led to a scarcity of 15s experience prior to going into the D1A championships. National rankings at season's end left us at 37th (Army and Navy, 9th and 10th) [[1]]
