The IUP Rugby team is moving on to the national championship tomorrow after coming up with a 12-5 win over NC State on Friday.
biggest turning point happened early in the game. After NC State scored its fifth point, IUP’s Colton Moyer outjumped the Wolfpack and stole the next kickoff, which he took deep down the field.
A couple phases later, IUP took a 7-5 lead, allowing the defense to lock down the win.
Moyer led the team in tries and Tyler Johnson went 1-for-2 on conversions.
With the win, IUP moves on to Sunday’s championship game against Principia, a 52-14 winner over Loyola-Chicago. The game will be streamed live on the National Collegiate Rugby’s YouTube channel starting at three o’clock.
