Men DI College Fall Awards!
Fall DI rugby is done and it’s time to select some award-winners; we here at Goff Rugby Report World Headquarters have combed the games and teams to bring you the best, and here they are.
All of these awards are for the fall only. So we will revisit these awards in the spring and expand on them to include 7s, as well.
DI College Men Fall Top Coach - Rob Conway
As college rugby teams do a better job of attracting more athletic players to the game, creating varsity and quasi-varsity programs, and breaking away from the old club model, it’s worth noting when an old-school club team does well.
DI College Men Player of the Fall - Jihad Khabir
In making AIC the #1 DI men’s college team in the fall I had to make a few assumptions, because AIC didn’t play everyone in the country; I had to make assumptions based on the style of play, and the athleticism, and the type of players other teams have.
ACRC Bowl Series Honor Roll
After each game of the ACRC Bowl Series in Charlotte, NC (and the one game in New Rochelle, NY), awards were given for co-players of the game (three for each winning team, and two for each losing team).
Aircraft Charter Solutions PoW - Tom McCrimmon
It’s not common that you get a young athlete choosing a college in part because of rugby even though he hasn’t played rugby, but that’s kind of how Thomas McCrimmon ended up at UNC-Wilmington.
