Only three games remain of the 2012 season for University of Idaho men’s club rugby (2-3).
In the club’s first season as a recognized Division I club sport at Idaho — up from Division II — it came up against powerhouses like British Columbia, Central Washington, and conference leader Oregon State.
Flanker and club president Zack Hood said the team has done well with a tough schedule, but its record is a far cry from previous years.
“We’re used to being a powerhouse team, but we just don’t have the numbers that we need,” Hood said.
The team’s next match is against Central Washington and Hood said players are working hard to figure out how to win.
“It’s going to be a fight,” he said.
The team travels to Ellensburg, Wash., for a 3:30 p.m. kick Saturday.
The club finishes its season with two games at home. The first is against Washington at 1 p.m. April 14 and the final match is against Oregon April 21.
