GRR: Air Force
CRAA’s new Challenger Cup playoff in Men’s D1A action had a pretty successful first weekend with two very competitive games.
The new plan from CRAA to have the Challenger Cup is kicking off this weekend.
Four teams will play in the quarterfinals with two teams, Mary Washington and Grand Canyon, getting a bye to the semifinals on April 19.
The final will be played May 3 as part of the CRAA's championship weekend in Indianapolis.
Colorado State won their opening Rocky Mountain Conference game and right now it looks like, again, there's a hot chase for 2nd in the conference as BYU remains the front-runner.
CRAA's spring bowl games produced plenty of drama and a nice way for St. Thomas to cap off their season.
A relatively new varsity program, St. Thomas held off Air Force in a clash between the Florida D1AA champion and a talented but non-playoff D1A team. Both teams came to play rugby and both teams had talent on their rosters.
Navy won the first of the three-game Commander-in-Chief Trophy series with a 50-8 defeat of Air Force.
The Falcons took an 8-3 lead in the 18th minute, but the Mids scored the final 47 points of the game, claiming the Lt. Col. Kevin Shea Memorial Rugby Cup for the sixth straight year.
