Stanford women win fifth national title, Saint Mary’s men capture fourth national championship
Stanford women’s rugby team poses for a photo after winning the national championship in Houston Stormy weather in Houston delayed the start of the Division I women’s college rugby championship for almost five hours. But once the Stanford women finally got started, there was no stopping them in their 36-19 victory over Grand Canyon University on Sunday.
Grand Canyon cut the deficit to five in the second half, but timely plays by the Cardinal’s leaders helped the Bay Area school pull away and win its fifth national title. While Stanford enjoyed a comfortable victory, its Bay Area brethren did not during the men’s Division I title game on Saturday. The Gaels started out strong. Tries by speedy De La Salle alumni Dom Besag and Erich Storti, plus kicks by Erich’s younger brother Mario, put Saint Mary’s up 14-0 five minutes into the match.That’s when Navy started to show its championship pedigree. Midshipman Ben Haugh rumbled in for a try to make it 21-5 at halftime.
