2007 Season
The LSU Rugby Club lost to the University of Colorado- 37 –21 on Saturday at the Western Collegiate Championships held in Fort Worth. LSU had an 11-point lead with 15 minutes to go but a very strong Colorado team battled back and won in a very exciting match. LSU simply had too many penalties, and some crucial mistakes let the Buffalos back in to the match. Colorado went on to win the tournament on Sunday beating the Air Force Academy 27-20. LSU beat the University of Nebraska on Sunday in the third place match 20-7 to complete a fantastic season.
The team is very disappointed not to be able to continue our season at the National Collegiate “Sweet 16” but is very proud that our record this year was 16 wins and 1 loss, including winning the SEC Championships. In addition, we have two players that will represent the United States at the Under-20 World Championships that will be held in Wales this summer, as well as potentially 6 players who will make the Western Union Collegiate Select Side.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
