GRR: Air Force Academy Women
This is a huge weekend in women’s D1 rugby as the eight teams make the playoffs.
As much as everyone likes to avoid two-game weekend, this will be … a two-game weekend. Friday will be the quarterfinals and Sunday will see the semifinals—everything held in Tempe, Ariz.
The Bowl Games at the College Rugby Association of America (CRAA) Fall Classic has expended to include women's teams.
As has been the case in the Fall Classic, the Bowl Games often serve to test teams across conference or even divisional lines.
This year's women's bowl game—the Upstate Challenge Cup—will see Air Force Academy against Penn State.
With the news that the CRAA Fall Classic is back, hosting, in part, the Women's D1 CRAA fall final, let's take a look at who might be there.
In fact, the chase to a place in Charlotte seems to have come down to four teams—UConn, Northeastern, Air Force, and Colorado Mesa.
Northeastern punished Air Force turnovers and won the CRAA Women’s D1 7s Sunday in Dallas.
In a competitive tournament of just seven teams, this event crowned yet another 7s champion, and one that played a strong team game and showcased several players with the ability to score from long range.
Two games headline the women's slate of college games this weekend.
