SEASON UPDATE & NEW UVU RUGBY COMMERCIAL

Two weeks after their first preseason game the UVU RUGBY TEAM is gearing up for their first conference game against Snow College this Saturday. The game is scheduled to be played at 12 p.m at Snow College. The team got much needed experience from the Utah Game and a recent scrimmage with the United Rugby team this past Saturday. The UVU coaches have expressed that the experience from these last two games to be crucial before the first playoff indicating game for the Wolverines.
Practices for the last few days have been very intense for the team including a great deal of conditioning especially on Monday despite the harsh weather. The players were pushed to run, tackle, run tackle, and then run some more. The team looked united, disciplined, and composed throughout the heavy conditioning.
The team was fortunate to have Nate Mathis (Assistant Athletic Director) attend practice on Tuesday. He was able to talk to the UVU players for a few minutes expressing his personal support and that of the Wolverine Athletic Department for the UVU Rugby team and the team's goal of becoming National Champions. The team would like to thank Nate Mathis and the Athletic Department for their support.
The team has also had the opportunity to work together with Dan Herbas a UVU RUGBY Alum to create commercials for the team. This has been a great opportunity to help get the team some on campus and overall exposure. UVU Rugby thanks Dan Herbas and all who contributed to the UVU RUGBY COMMERCIAL.
