The Chicago Hounds are on the verge of history, and they’ll have an opportunity to hoist a league title as they host the Major League Rugby title game Sunday.
The Hounds have won all 11 of their games so far this season, but they have one more hurdle to clear as they prepare to face California Legion at Bridgeview’s SeatGeek Stadium on Sunday night.
It’s been quite a season for the Hounds, as they not only won all 10 of their regular season matches but also scored at least four tries in all 10, maxing out at 50 standings points and becoming the first Major League Rugby team to ever achieve that feat.
Chicago followed that run up with an emphatic win over Old Glory DC at SeatGeek Stadium on Monday night, racing out to a 31-3 lead before capturing a 59-22 victory to advance to the league championship game for the first time in club history.
Seven different players scored tries for the Hounds in the game, with Noah Brown registering two. DC got two tries in the closing minutes, but it wasn’t nearly enough as the Hounds kept their undefeated season alive.
Now, the Hounds will aim to finish out their unbeaten season, and they are hoping to make the most of that opportunity. The team scored 461 points during the league’s regular season, the top mark in MLR, and they only allowed 252 points, also the league’s best mark.
The Hounds and California will square off at 7 p.m. on Sunday night, with the game airing on ESPN 2.
