Moral victories are tough to take at this stage of the Major League Rugby season, and Utah Warriors coach Greg Cooper certainly wasn't accepting any after his team finished out on the losing end of a tough 29-24 loss to the Houston Sabercats on Saturday.

Utah outplayed the Sabercats, who entered the match with MLR's best mark of seven wins against just a single loss, for much of the match, but a positive final result proved elusive.

"We were confident that we could beat these guys," Cooper said. "...Houston is a good side, there's no question about that, but there's no reason we couldn't have won the game today...We didn't come to compete against a good side, we came in to beat a good side."

The Utah Warriors will be on the road for the next two weeks and will return to Zions Bank Stadium on June 1.
