Seawolves Continue Chase for Playoff Spot After Loss in Austin

May 1, 2022 (TUKWILA, WASHINGTON) – The Seattle Seawolves traveled to the Austin Gilgronis (9-2) for a 4:00 PM PT match in Austin, Texas. Tactical play set Seattle up for scoring opportunities throughout the match but Austin was able to stall the Seawolves offense and keeping the visitors to only two converted penalty kicks. 6-17, Austin.

• Flyhalf AJ Alatimu accounted for the only points of the match, making two of his three attempted penalties kicks
• Lack of momentum and chances for Seattle to play their brand of rugby  kept the scoreline tight
• Seawolves drop down  into the fourth spot of the Western Conference, needing  to bounce back with a four-point next win next week at home against Dallas to keep playoff hopes alive

PENALTIES:

Flyhalf AJ Alatimu (15’, 30’) 2/3
