GRR: Boise State
During the season the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference has not been keeping regular public records on their standings and scores; we at Goff Rugby Report did the job ourselves.
Western Washington clinched 1st place in the NCRC, and Boise State did just enough to secure a playoff spot, as WWU defeated BSU 56-24 Saturday in Bellingham, Wash.
The four semifinalists in the NCRC are settled after this weekend’s games, but the final seedings are yet to be decided.
In the game between the top two programs, Western Washington defeated Washington 26-17 to jump into a tie for 1st. Nate Muir led the way for the Vikings up front, powering into rucks and also scoring a key try.
The Boise State Broncos launched themselves squarely into the NCRC playoff conversation with two victories in the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference this weekend.
In a physical clash on Saturday, Boise State held off Gonzaga University 27-14. And then turning around for the Sunday game, Boise State held off a determined Eastern Washington squad 41-36.
