BYU Releases Schedule
Brigham Young University has unveiled its 2016 15s schedule, which features games against at least eight ranked opponents.
BYU kicks off January 16 with a scrimmage against Utah, and then the annual Red Rock Tournament a week later.
Central Wash Still #1 in West
Despite the score, a very good game occurred between Central Washington and BYU on Saturday. The pair are inarguably the two best DI teams that are competing in-season in the West right now, and the friendly offered insight into their progress as they build toward the DI Elite championship in the spring.
Mountain West: Another BYU-UNM Affair?
The Mountain West got underway last weekend and saw the league favorites register big wins. New Mexico traveled to Colorado State and posted a 57-7 victory, while DI spring finalist BYU shut out Air Force 76-0.
BYU Wins 7s Tournament
BYU won the Cougar 7s Invitational over Utah Saturday.
Both BYU and Utah ran out two teams in the event, with BYU A sweeping pool play in beating Utah Valley, Weber State, and Utah’s B side. Utah’s A squad defeated Dixie State, Idaho State, and BYU B to win their pool.
BYU A got by BYU B in the semis while Utah defeated UVU.
BYU Wins Piper Cup
It’s been a busy 30 days for Women’s Cougar Rugby. From Albuquerque, to Pittsburgh, to Colorado Springs, BYU has kept its bags perpetually packed during the post-season. The Provo, Utah, team ended its quest for a DI 15s title two weekends ago, and quickly switched to 7s for last weekend’s Piper Cup, a national 7s qualifier held at the Air Force Academy.
