Sunday Headlines: Kentucky Rugby Wins National Championship Edition

When it comes to Kentucky Wildcats athletics, is there any greater feeling than beating up on the Louisville Cardinals? It was just two weeks ago when the UK football team ended their regular season on a high note by pulling off a significant upset of the Cardinals.

Then, yesterday, Kentucky’s men’s rugby team won the NCAA Division I-AA national championship over Louisville by a score of 43-28. Yes — you read that right.

If handing the Cardinals a second L in as many weeks, it was even sweeter than Kentucky essentially put the game away after taking a 26-0 lead at halftime.
