They may have been the underdogs going into Saturdays (02/06) game, but the Red Wolves certainly were out to prove that they were the force to be reckoned with. The weather in the State’s capital didn’t show much favor for some good clean rugby but Coach Matt Huckaby was left stunned at how well his pack performed in the soggy ground conditions.
The Super League team – Dallas Harlequins – played just as well as the Red wolves had prepared for. The hard hitting Harlequins side played it to the whistle looking to exploit a young ASU pack. However, it was the determination and zeal of the Red Wolves ruggers that helped them defeat a more experienced and more aggressive Dallas Harlequins side. Arkansas State 34 - Dallas Harlequins 7.
“They stuck to the game plan, capitalized on opposition mistakes and minimized turnover balls,” was the comments from Coach Matt Huckaby on Saturdays win.
