Hannah Greene\u00a0<\/strong> | Sports Editor<\/span><\/p>\n A streak unlike before, Western Men\u2019s Rugby continued the tears as their last home game on Saturday, Feb. 8, brought another loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Wolves held a home game against Pacific University Boxers, and boxed out the Wolves were. The Wolves\u2019 defense struggled to hold any attack from the Boxers, which allowed for a great deal of scoring by the Boxers. On the other side of the playing field, the Wolves\u2019 offense had no vision and was unable to find any way of scoring \u2014 every space was covered by the Boxers defense. Both sides of the ball continued to push, but not hard enough to take hold of the game at any point.<\/span><\/p>\n Similar to their last game against Oregon State University on Feb. 1, the Wolves had to borrow more players from the Boxers to be able to continue the game without being down any men.<\/span><\/p>\n The Boxers proved to have great ball movement and were able to find another scoring opportunity with only 12 minutes left in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n Though there were many great tackles, runs and plays made by the Wolves, winning was out of sight. The final score of the game ended with the Wolves at five points, trailing far behind the Boxers\u2019 43 points.<\/span><\/p>\n This game concluded the Men’s Rugby season of squads of 15 versus 15, and move on to play seven versus seven. Their next home game will not be until April 18, where the Wolves will be holding the League Championships for the seven versus seven teams.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/files\/2020\/02\/rugby3-color-1-1024x683.jpg\")
