Western Playoff Results
Over the weekend, the Huskers lost to Air Force by a score of 40 to 12 and to LSU by a score of 20 to 7. While UNL now consistently competes at a higher level, both games demonstrate that we need to get better at preparing in all aspects of the game. Against Air Force, UNL was down 7 to 0 at half-time, but could not overcome the depth and fitness of the Zoomies. Against LSU, UNL was threatening to tie or go ahead late in the game, but allowed a lack of awareness to result in late try by the Tigers that squashed any comeback hopes.
UNL Rugby extends heartfelt sympathies to current player Jeff Hunter and his family in their time of difficulty and loss. Our thoughts are with you Jeff...
