DIA and DIAA Games And Picks
While we don't have an enormous number of DIA and DIAA games, they are meaningful.
The Liberty Conference has its final, plus a series of challenge matches between teams with similar records. It's a very good way to just cap off the season. It's mostly a pick 'em game for the final (Northeast vs BC) but we've decided not to sit on any fences this week.
Gamebreakers DI College Nov 9-10
Every game means something, but that's especially true at this time of year as conference champions are decided and the same for playoff seedings in DIAA.
Here are our Gamebreakers for DIA and DIAA for November 9-10.
Connor Buckley, Iona
The Gaels scrumhalf scored three tries as Iona defeated Fairfield in Liberty Conference action.
Texas Longhorns Improving Fast
Goff Rugby Report came out with a list of the top five surprise teams in DIA this fall, and if we’d made the video a few weeks later, it might have been six teams, with the University of Texas in that list.
Indiana Wins Big 10
The University of Indiana rode a torrid second half to get past Ohio State and win the Big Ten Saturday at Fortress Obetz in Ohio.
The victory capped off a day of final games in the conference, with all eight teams in action.
Ohio State and Indiana played it pretty close in the first half, but as time went on, IU started to control the point of contact.
University of Colorado Team Hit With Sanctions
The University of Colorado has been sanctioned by DIA Rugby fot fielding two unregistered players in a league game this fall.
Two players, Hayes Ward and Sam Tilley, played against New Mexico on September 21. Neither player was CIPP'd and neither was listed on the official matchday roster. Those players were later registered with USA Rugby in the following week.
