GRR: CRAA
As we have pointed out in previous articles on GRR, player and team dues in college rugby remains an issue.
Because National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) is not a member of USA Rugby, their members are also not members of USA Rugby, and as a result, USA Rugby does not support their members playing NCR teams.
Penn State men’s rugby has hired Zac Mizell as its head coach.
Mizell comes to Penn State after serving as the men’s rugby head coach at Adrian College in 2023-24, where he was the Midwest Rugby Conference Coach of the Year. He also currently serves as head coach of the men’s elite team at the Ohio Aviators Rugby Academy.
College Rugby Association of America has named its D1AA All Americans, picking a 1st team squad of 23 and 15 honorable mentions.
Five players from champions University of San Diego make the 1st team, while Iowa State, Sam Houston State, and Western Washington all had significant representation.
Western Washington University shut out the University of Oregon to win CRAA's D1AA 7s Sunday in Bellingham, Wash.
WWU's defense was outstanding all weekend, as they allowed only 34 points in six games. Oregon's defense was equally as good, and in fact they came into the final having shut out four straight opponents, including San Jose State in the semifinal (31-0).
CRAA's D1AA Men's 7s kicks off Saturday morning with 10 teams fighting it out in Bellingham, Wash.
