by DOLLY WISMAN
The rugby team compiled a 5-4 record. This is especially impressive when one considers that the team is only three years old.
The A team opened its' season with the City of Louisville. The game ended in victory for the Wildcats with  a score of 22-15.
The Indianapolis Naps were next, and they fell to the 'Cats 24-0.
Kentucky played Birmingham in a hard-fought game. The Wildcats were very close to a score when time ran out. Birmingham left with a 15-10 victory.
The Vanderbilt game meant a lot to the Wildcat team. Vanderbilt has
never been beaten by Kentucky, and this year the Wildcats hoped to change that record. The Commodores, however, managed to overcome the 'Cats 12-0.
Evansville was next, and they too left a defeated  UK team 28-18.
Kentucky then beat the Fort Campbell Army team 6-0.
The University of Tennessee game, which is another big rivalry, was a success for the Wildcats. A close game, Kentucky came out on top with a 12-10 victory.
The Wildcats entered an invitational tournament and played one of the best rugby teams in this area the first game. Pittsburgh beat UK 17-6.
Michigan was Kentucky's last game in the tournament. The Wildcats shut them out 24-0.
The B division team played only four games due to a lack of competition. They defeated Louisville and Vanderbilt and lost to Tennessee and the West Virginia Weslyans.
The rugby team will play in a SEC tournament in the spring, pff*
