Santa Fe’s Santos rugby team dropped their second consecutive loss of the new season Saturday, 25-15 to Albuquerque’s Brujos at Rio Rancho Sport Complex. The hosts pulled away with two unanswered five-point tries in the second half following three lead changes in the first 40 minutes.
Santa Fe got a try from captain Ryan Weir after 21 minutes and Highlands University
grad Levi Caizza added two long scoring sprints. All three two-point conversion kick attempts
failed and Santa Fe clung to a 15-11 halftime lead. The Santos attack sputtered in the second
half and the Brujos took advantage with two converted tries to claim the 25-15 win.
Woodward, a former member of Hong Kong’s Kowloon Rugby Club, was named Santa
Fe’s man of the match while Coach Richard Morris commended newcomer Caizza for his
finishing skills.
Santa Fe hosts the El Paso, TX Scorpions in their home opener at 1:00 pm March 19 at
the Municipal Recreation Complex.
