Center Cameron Freeman scored four tries, Marcus Satavu added two more and Air Force dominated Coast Guard 55-7 to win its eighth consecutive Armed Forces rugby title Saturday at Stewart-Watson Field.

Freeman was nearly a one-man show, scoring on tries of 75, 60, 5 and 25 meters. Coast Guard managed to control possession for the first 17 minutes of the game until Freeman intercepted a pass and raced untouched to the try zone to put Air Force ahead 12-0.

But perhaps the most impressive score of the game came when Freeman and teammate Ryan Dombrock seamlessly alternated passes while slicing through the Coast Guard defense, resulting in Freeman’s second try of the game.

Freeman could have pushed for five tries but instead passed one to a teammate at the 1-meter line.

“He’s probably our stalwart at center,” Air Force head coach Wayne Kinsel said. “He’s exactly what you want out of that position. Four tries is just unheard of.”

Air Force once again displayed the same dominance it has shown in the past eight years, outscoring the opposition 202-25 in the tournament, which began Wednesday. Air Force defeated Army 55-10 on Friday.

Army, meanwhile, finished a disappointing 1-4 during Fort Benning’s final year of hosting the tournament and the final year in which many of the players will be able to play a 15-player format. The Armed Forces Rugby Tournament will be switching to a 7-player format next year.

Army head coach Clint Olearnick said a plethora of injuries in Army’s first game against the Marine Corps, which it won 37-0, set the Soldiers back for the rest of the tournament. One of them was Olearnick himself, who needed surgery for a broken thumb, making him unavailable to play the rest of the tournament.

After the game against the Marines, Army played Coast Guard two hours later and lost.

“Coming out 2-0 on that first day would have set the tone a lot better,” Olearnick said. “We were very low. I was scraping together everyone I could find. The way the injuries played out, it ended up killing us.”

Army battled Navy on Saturday in the third-place game, but late Army mistakes gave Navy a 26-12 win.

Trailing 19-12, Army twice made its way to within 10 meters of a potential tying try but failed to cash in. Jason Weir set Army up with a deep kick out of bounds to put Army in position to score, but a knock-on penalty was called and a scrum was awarded to Navy.

With four minutes remaining, Army wound up in a similar position, but Navy intercepted a pass as Army tried to gain the advantage outside. Navy’s Jason Fritz put the game out of reach in the final minute with a try after taking a pass from Morgan Halstead, who penetrated.

“Minimizing mistakes and capitalizing on opportunities is something we needed to focus on,” Olearnick said. “When you’re within the 22-meter line, you’ve got to come away with points. Things just didn’t go our way today. They all played their hearts out today, it’s just unfortunate the score wasn’t more relevant.”
