GRR: Central Washington University
Both Central Washington and New England College will attend the Men's DI bracket of USA Rugby's College 7s Championships without a head coach, but all should be OK for the weekend regardless.
ELLENSBURG, Wash. - The Central Washington University Department of Athletics announced Thursday that Men's Rugby Head Coach Tony Pacheco is stepping down from the position he has held since 2014.
It will be BYU and Cal once again in the Varsity Cup final, but it almost wasn't.
BYU was once again formidable, with the Whippy brothers right in the middle of the action. Josh Whippy scored two early tries and Jared Whippy converted them and added a penalty which, along with tries from Zane Mendenhall and Josh Anderson, staked BYU to a 27-8 halftime lead over Arkansas State.
Could this be the year that it all gets shaken up?
You wonder. Here in the Varsity Cup, the same four teams had been in the semifinals for the last three years. That's changed this year as Arkansas State upended Navy to get to the top four. Now, could the run of three-straight BYU v Cal finals be stopped?
It could be.
Central Washington once again met the University of Utah in the Varsity Cup quarterfinals, and once again the Wildcats emerged victorious.
