DIA Playoff Snowout Rectified
DIA Playoff Snowout Rectified
What to do about the DIA first-round game that was snowed out has apparently been straightened out.
Air Force was supposed to host Cal Poly this past weekend, but a snowstorm in Colorado put the kibosh on that game. After some deliberations and negotiations between the two teams, USA Rugby, and St. Mary's (the team slated to play the winner), the game will be played this coming Saturday.
At one point it seemed like there would be no game played, and then the higher-ranked team (in this case, Air Force) would advance. But it was clear that everyone wanted the game to be played, and so Air Force will play Cal Poly at the St. Mary's outside rugby field on Saturday, April 23 at 1pm Pacific Time.
Then the winner will play St. Mary's on Sunday at 11am Pacific Time.
The other three quarterfinal matchups are confirmed for Saturday:
Davenport will face Life in Marietta, Ga. Kickoff 1pm Eastern Time. Live webcast here.
Arizona will visit Utah. Kickoff time 8pm Mountain Time.
Lindenwood is at Indiana. Kickoff time is 1pm Eastern Time.
Sunday's St. Mary's game will likely be webcast here. It's unlikely the Air Force v Cal Poly game on Saturday will be live-streamed as it is at a different venue.
