Saturday, May 14th the Pigs took of the University of Minnesota. It was a rather chilly 45 degrees at game time with a slight rain coming down. Not ideal conditions, especially for this time of year. The Pigs this Spring have come close in a number of matches, this match was one they were ready to win and felt the needed to win.
The team dominated play from the start. The Pigs defense had finally come together and they continually pushed the young U of MN squad back. The U had a few very nice plays, but for the most part the Pigs were able to shut them down. At the whistle the final score was St. Paul 30, U of MN 19. Great work to everyone who played in the match and special thanks to our fans and the Bombers who weren’t able to get in this match.
