Meanwhile, in Illinois, Brother Rice edged Neuqua 36-33 to take the Rugby Illinois Boys D1 title.  Brother Rice ran out to a 24-7 lead just after halftime, and with 15 minutes to go still held onto a 19-point lead at 36-15. In the closing minutes, Neuqua stormed back and powered through to make it a three-point game. Neuqua had the ball at the end of the game and worked their way into Brother Rice territory. But the Rice defense held and forced a knock-on to end a dramatic game.

Neuqua will be left ruing yellow cards that made them shorthanded for far too much of the game.
