Conference Titles Up for Grabs
There is one more weekend of play before several college conferences host their respective playoffs, but the fields are pretty clear. We talked about the Pacific Mountain conference (read more), but here are some playoff match-ups working out:
PacMtn Packs Down in Stanford
The Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference (PMRC) has named its playoff competitors, and eight teams spanning from San Diego to Pullman, Wash., will converge on Stanford March 28-29.
Women DI College Top 20: March 11, 2015
The big news in the Women’s DI College Top 20 is the fall of New Mexico, which played a devastating game against Women’s Cougar Rugby (BYU) last weekend. Yes, it was a pre-season friendly, and yes, the game was held on BYU’s home turf, but a 100-point difference is significant. Read more here.
Humboldt Scores 199 Pts
All of the top teams in the DII West Coast conference exited the weekend with big wins. Sacramento State defeated SF BATS 65-12; Reno topped Santa Clara 78-10; and Humboldt banked shutouts against St. Mary’s and Fresno State by a combined 199-0.
A First: Irvine Bests Long Beach
This weekend was an important one in Southern California, for both DI and DII women’s colleges, and a fantastic Friday night match initiated the action. Reigning DII conference champ Long Beach State proved vulnerable after a big loss to CSU Northridge, and Friday’s game against a solid UC Irvine was going to indicate just how vulnerable.
