October 22nd, 2005: Battle Creek Griffon 0 Traverse City 41
The Battle Creek Griffon Rugby Club closed the Fall season with a loss at home to Traverse City. Coach Al Houser reported that the team was undermanned and lacked experience to create chances against Traverse. The good news is that this young team has gone through the fire and will be strengthened by some tough experiences. Houser reports that again Michael Barrosa played well, as did Dan Lowe and Todd Day. Lance had a good game defensively at fly half and Joey Asmus played well as a first time fullback under a lot of pressure.
A couple of missed chances would have put some scores on the board for the Griffons, but the points just slipped away due to some knock-ons.
