GRR: Air Force
Women’s colleges in the Rocky Mountain region have rallied behind spring 7s. It makes weather sense, but a concentrated 7s season also helps smaller, isolated schools play in meaningful competitions while the sport engenders a following.
Colorado State won a must-win game in the West DIA conference as the Rams beat previously-undefeated Air Force 30-5.
The victory ensured that CSU stays in the hunt for the conference title, a goal tat would likely have been out of their reach had they lost.
The United States Air Force Academy defeated San Diego State 46-18 to finish their fall 7-1.
The Zoomies' only loss was 19-17 to Army at West Point on October 31.
It’s the end meets the beginning as the Air Force Academy Zoomies finish up their fall season with a visit to San Diego State, who are just getting started.
Air Force is 5-1 this fall, winning four league games in the DIA West, and splitting games against their military academy rivals - beating Navy in Colorado Springs 38-26 and losing to Army 19-17 at West Point.
Vic Tise has learned a lot about his team in the past few weeks. The new Air Force coach took over for Lisa Rosen this fall and led his team to a 4-4 record. The Zoomies won the games they should have won and lost the games they should have lost, but that’s not to say the team didn’t improve throughout the season.
