The Pacific Mountain Conference (PMRC) is a college rugby conference that competes in Division 1 under the umbrella of the Collegiate Rugby Association of America (CRAA). It includes teams from various universities in the western United States, with recent playoffs featuring strong competition from schools like Stanford, Central Washington, and Cal.
The spring D1 women's college picture is fairly clear as the playoffs loom.
At least 18 women's D1 college teams are in action this weekend with an eye toward a spring championship in Houston.
These are CRAA teams and the Florida, Pacific Mountain, and Pacific Desert conferences are heating up really quick.

The University of California women's team might not have concentrated on 7s training, but it didn't really matter.
Cal won the Pacific Mountain West women's 7s championships this past weekend at Stanford, overcoming an early loss to the hosts to beat San Francisco, Chico State, Fresno State, and, in the final, Stanford.
The Men's Pacific Western Conference and the Women's Pacific Mountain West Conference will hold their 7s championships November 2 at Stanford University.
The tournament will be shown live on Facebook (link coming).
Tomorrow, University of Washington (North #2), Chico State (West #2), UC Berkeley (West #3), UCSD (South #1), UCLA (South #2), Washington State (North #1), Arizona State (South #3), and UC Davis (West #1) will be competing in the Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference playoffs and a place in the national Women's DI Spring Quarterfinals.
