Maryland Exiles fall short to the Roosters in the final

Cameroon is good. Congo is bad!
- MDX Player Ezechiel Titchom

MDX had another great day of sevens rugby on Sunday finishing 3-1 and defeating some great teams on the path to the final. The team did not have an easy path, as they had to beat the Roosters, Gonzaga and Hempfield (a tough team from Pennsylvania) to get there.

In the final -- The Roosters scored first, Junior Kayembe was able to answer with an unconverted try to add to the five he had scored previously during the day. Moose Carroll and Shemar Lewis were all over the field moving forward and creating space around them. Patrick Bousquet and Rylan Wareham were both excellent in the midfield moving the ball to open areas on the field. The littlest Exile Toa Luka had a terrific day both on offense and defense. Thomas Gao touched down a converted try in overtime, but it was not enough to catch the Roosters.

Game #1 -- Roosters (Red) 17 to 10
Game #2 -- Gonzaga 19-10
Game #3 -- Hempfield 19-12
Final -- Roosters (Blue) 12-19
