Glendale, Seattle To Face Off In MLR Final
Recap of the Major League Rugby semifinals.
It's going to be the teams with the two best regular-season records in the Major League Rugby final, as both the Glendale Raptors and Seattle Seawolves won semifinals Saturday at Glendale's Infinity Park in Colorado.
The Seawolves bounced out of a 10-10 halftime scoreline to fall behind 17-10 to the San Diego Legion. But Seattle then rallied to score four second-half tries and win 38-24.

Will Rasileka, Peter Tiberio on an interception, Suequoiah Burke-Combs, and John Hayden all scored tries to claim the win for Seattle.
Glendale, meanwhile, took charge relatively early against the Utah Warriors. Sam Figg went over three minutes in, and Will Magie added the conversion, and a penalty goal about ten minutes later. Harley Davidson and then Shaun Davies went over to make it 22-0 before Utah could get on the board.
