GLENDALE, Colo. - It was a very productive Friday for the Davenport men's rugby team as they posted a pair of wins at the USA Rugby 7s nationals to begin pool play. The Panthers won 21-14 in their first match against Texas A&M as Thomas Cheslek scored with no time left to break a 14-14 tie. Bryce Gruppen also scored twice for the Panthers. The team then had a late 11 p.m. EDT kick against Kansas State and were lights out in a 32-0 win as Reece Czarnecki had two tries. DU is now advancing to the quarterfinals but will have one more pool play match on Saturday against Utah who is also 2-0 in pool play. The Panthers and Utes will play at 12:20 local time (2:20 p.m. EDT) from Infinity Park. To catch live video of matches, visit The Rugby Channel online.
