College rugby playoffs: Saint Mary’s College pulls away in the second half as Gaels take down BYU, advance to national championship game against defending champions Navy.
MORAGA – Saint Mary’s College inside-centre Dom Besag breaks free for a try with zero seconds left on the clock. Saint Mary’s College rugby team defeated BYU 48-31 in the 2024 College Rugby Division I-A national semifinal playoff game at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif. on April 20, 2024 MORAGA – Mario Storti easily handled BYU’s drop kick, something akin to a punt, and began to glide along the grass at Saint Mary’s College.
“When stuff doesn’t go our way, we stick to our game plan and don’t play as individuals,” Erich Storti said. “We did a good job of persevering today.” Besag started the scoring 10 minutes into the game when he shrugged off a tackler and scored on the left flank. “We really hurt ourselves massively, and we didn’t take advantage of some of the gaps in their defense we could have,” O’Brien said. “We tried to move some balls to places they shouldn’t be, and we’re lucky they didn’t pick off a few of our passes.”

This means that a wealthy family with three children could expect to spend over $1 million by the time their youngest child completes a four-year degree. However, many colleges with large endowments have been focused on making college more affordable for lower-income students. Some lower-income families may only have to pay 10% of the advertised rate, making attending a selective private college cheaper than a state institution.
