Rugby Today - South Carolina defeated Alabama, 50-22, on Sunday to take home the 2014 SCRC conference championship in Columbia, SC.

With the win, the Gamecocks earned the right to take on in-state rival Clemson at the ACRC Bowl Series next weekend.

USC got on the board first thanks to a try from the forwards' man-of-the-match, Zach Mullineaux, from Downingtown, PA. Alabama responded with two unanswered to take a 12-7 lead.

South Carolina retook the lead with a converted try, but Alabama battled back to take a 15-14 lead with a penalty. The Gamecocks, however, finished the half strong adding another penalty and a late try to take a 24-15 halftime advantage.

In the second half, South Carolina scored the first three tries in a row to open up a 43-15 lead. “We continued to move the ball down wide and kick for space and finally got a bunch of breaks that worked out well,” Morris said. Alabama got on the board again with a try, but Michael Rudzinsky, the backs' man-of-the-match from Reading, MA, sealed the victory with a late try to give South Carolina the win.
