Notre Dame's One-Game Season
This weekend is it. The fall and spring college champions will meet at Kennesaw State this Saturday and contest the women’s DI and DII national championships. First-year varsity program Central Washington will challenge reigning DI titleholder Penn State, while UC Riverside will attempt to continue its spring winning streak against Notre Dame College.
BYU Wins Piper Cup
It’s been a busy 30 days for Women’s Cougar Rugby. From Albuquerque, to Pittsburgh, to Colorado Springs, BYU has kept its bags perpetually packed during the post-season. The Provo, Utah, team ended its quest for a DI 15s title two weekends ago, and quickly switched to 7s for last weekend’s Piper Cup, a national 7s qualifier held at the Air Force Academy.
Davenport Redeemed at DII ACRA 7s
As the only Midwest representative in both the DI and DII ACRA 7s championships, Davenport did its region proud this weekend in West Point, N.Y. The Panthers outscored its five opponents 166-38 and is the undisputed DII ACRA 7s champion.
Army Takes ACRA 7s Title
Army is the new DI ACRA 7s champion, unseating Norwich after a 22-7 title bout. It’s tempting to focus on the victories over the Vermont side, which had won 63-straight 7s games entering this weekend’s championship, but the spotlight needs to shine on the West Pointers themselves. The hosts dominated the field and played a commanding, smart campaign to the title.
ACRA 7s Championships This Weekend
The ACRA 7s championships are being held this weekend in West Point, N.Y., and action of field 1 will be live-streamed both days.
