Iowa State 58 Iowa 5The Cyclones looked pretty strong in their defeat of the Hawkeyes. Iowa State lost a tough, close game to Iowa Central last week, and this week put into practice some of the lessons from that game.
Colby-Sawyer College and Adrian College are both looking for candidates for Head Coach positions with their women's programs.
Colby-Sawyer is actually a Director of Rugby position combined with being the women's Head Coach; the previous Head Coach and DOR, Ed McKenna, just took a non-rugby administrative position at Dartmouth College.
Thomas More's road to a Men's DII National Championship was a story like that of many teams; they didn't know what they had at the beginning of the season, they didn't know how they matched up, and at a critical period in the season games were hard to come by.
Thomas More is in the Men’s D2 college final after beating Northern Iowa 73-20 in Friday’s semifinal at Aveva Stadium in Houston.
It was a game that Thomas More took control of early.
“The guys played the game plan and it was about communication more than anything else,” said Thomas More Head Coach John Fox. “Talk, work together, be in support.”
The final four men's D2 college teams got to Houston in several different ways.
