DIA Final - Our Take
Trivia question: Of the five DIA finals held, how many were decided by more than a try?
Answer: One.
That’s right, one. And that one, Saint Mary’s 21 Life 6 in 2014, was close until the very end when the Gaels scored a try at the death.
Men DI College Rankings Spring 2016 #14
We almost didn't run a new DI rankings this week, given that there were so few games and they ran according to plan.
DIA Semis - Life and Saint Mary's, Again
Life University and Saint Mary’s will meet each other once more for the DIA championship, marking the fourth year in a row that these two schools will meet for the top prize in college rugby.
Life rode a superb defensive performance to a 41-7 victory over Lindenwood.
DIA Semis - The Challenge Awaits
Men’s DI College 15s rugby is very quiet this weekend, so the two games of note better make some noise.
Saint Mary’s hosts Utah in one semi. Saint Mary’s looked shaky at times through the season. The Gaels pushed BYU 30-29 early in the season, but on a two-game trip to Utah lost big to those same Cougars and almost lost to Utah in a 57-50 barnburner.
Scholz Award to Audsley
Saint Mary’s center Dylan Audsley has been named as the first-ever Rudy Scholz Award Winner as the best men’s college rugby player in the country.
The award, presented by the Washington Athletic Club of Seattle, Wash. in conjunction with Goff Rugby Report, will be formally presented at a gala event on June 11.
