Teams Set for USA Rugby College 7s Championships
USA Rugby has named the teams for the Men’s DI and DII College 7s Championships to be held May 23 and 24 at the University of Denver.
Wayne State Repeats as 7s Champ
“Back to back” is a descriptor with which Wayne State College is familiar. The NSCRO women’s team won back-to-back 15s titles from 2012-13, and then won the first-ever NSCRO 7s championship last spring. This past weekend in West Point, N.Y., the Wildcats retained its 7s title, beating Mount St. Mary’s 22-17 in the final, and saw Caitlin Hollinger repeat as championship MVP.
UNT Finalizes 7s Qualifier Field
North Texas won the round robin SWC 7s tournament Saturday, beating Texas A&M in what amounted to the championship game, and earning a spot in the USA Rugby Men’s Collegiate 7s Championships.
Led by MVP performances from Jon Hiller, Michael Bliss, and Hame Havili, UNT defeated Texas A&M 31-28 to secure the tournament.
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.
