7s Begins NCRC 15-16 Season

The Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference will begin its season in late September with the first of four 7s tournaments.

Despite the national championships of college 7s being moved to the spring, the NCRC will keep its 7s season in the fall. After that is concluded, teams have about a month before the 15s season gets started, although the majority of teams won't play league games until 2016.

Last year's champion, Central Washington, has moved on to an independent schedule, which makes sense for everyone given that CWU won all games by considerable, and sometimes massive, margins. To even out the conference to eight teams, Gonzaga has moved up. The remaining eight-team conference is extremelt competitive, as evidenced by some of the extremely close scores in 2014-15. In the end, last season, three teams were deadlocked with 5-2 records behind the 7-0 CWU. 

It looks at though the conference will get even closer this year, with Washington State and Boise State likely to improve.
