In front of a sellout crowd of nearly 3,000 faithful, history was made in Washington, D.C. when Old Glory DC notched its first Major League Rugby victory against the two-time defending champion Seattle Seawolves, 28-22. At Cardinal Stadium at Catholic University, OGDC took more than 80 minutes of rugby to defeat its foe, but the team never backed down, never quit. In the final moments on their own goal line, the defense stood tall and held up the attacking Seawolves in the try zone for the victory. The grandstand erupted in jubilation after the final whistle, and Old Glory DC celebrated its first professional triumph with its fans on the pitch. It was a night and day performance from Old Glory’s first match against NOLA. The takeaways from the first week and addition of Tendai “Beast” Mtawarira changed the attitude, mindset, and confidence of the club. The set piece improved, setting a platform that allowed Old Glory DC to maintain possession for long stretches of the game. The increased pressure on defense forced Seattle to make some uncharacteristic errors, which ultimately caused them difficulty in exiting their own half. The fans willed the team to excel on the field in the last ten minutes, and Old Glory DC gave them an extremely satisfying victory in return.
