On a gorgeous day for rugby the Pigs traveled to historic Faribault to play the final league game and their final tune-up before the 2011 playoffs. The league game would be against the Faribault Box Spring and Carleton College would be providing a second game.
The Pigs went on to a lopsided victory with Faribault’s only tri being scored by Twinkie (a Pigs prop). First year Piggie, Curtis had a breakout day scoring 5 tries and being involved in numerous other scoring plays setting up other scores. The victory was big, however the Pigs felt unsatisfied as they knew that the lack of intensity, emotion, and fire would not fly in playoffs.
The Pigs had a following game against Carleton. The game was a fun, competitive, close game. The Pigs/Bombers provided great intensity and dominant ball control leading them to a victory.
