GRR: BYU Women
The USA Rugby Women's College Playoffs look to be set as a mixture of the DI Elite teams and top teams from major conferences will play off.
On the weekend of April 21-23, the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals will be held in four locations, Palo Alto, Calif., Davis, Calif., Marietta, Ga., and State College, pa.
Lindenwood University women reeled off two victories in Las Vegas, giving the rest of the women's college rugby community something to consider.
Playing a very good BYU team that was in the National DI Elite Final last year, Lindenwood took care of the Cougars 39-5.
The top women's college rugby teams in the nation are starting to show where they fall in the pecking order.
Of recent games that told us what is what, Quinnipiac v Penn State was the big one. Saturday, the Bobcats dispatched an excellent Penn State team 41-22 on the campus of Mount St. Mary's in Emmitsburg, Md..
Penn State is not any stranger to the women’s national final The Nittany Lions, in fact, have been in the Big Game 20 times in the last 22 years. That’s right, 20 out of 22. So it’s not really a surprise that Penn State made the final.
And going into the final, they were 10-9 in the final, so you could be forgiven for assuming one outcome or the other.
BYU has acknowledged the women’s rugby team as an extramural sport. Why is that important? The answer lies in the complicated relationship between school and team.
