DIA Rugby News
We're coming into the playoff period for D1A and D1AA and at least in the D1AA the number of games is dropping down.
That's why we're listing the D1AA and D1A games together again and we'll probably finish the season that way. The biggest game is Florida at South Florida. The winner of that game will almost certainly be 2nd in the Florida CC North, and will secure a playoff spot.
Well ... that was interesting.
Here's what happened in D1A today.
No, I Don't Think SoCal Poly (GRR #11) put to rest any discussion of whether they would be overtaken for 2nd in the California Conference, as the Mustangs beat the upstart #21 UCSB Gauchos 73-13 to secure that 2nd spot.
UCLA defeated Saint Mary’s 22-12 Saturday in Los Angeles, shutting out the Gaels in the second half to preserve a huge victory for the Bruins.
Both teams were coming off close games in which they felt they gave up far too many points—Saint Mary’s had won 43-38 over Cal Poly, while UCLA had dropped a 47-41 decision to Central Washington.
The California Conference decided its champion last week with Saint Mary's defeating Cal Poly in what turned out to be a close one.
This week we decide who takes 2nd with Cal Poly playing upstarts UC Santa Barbara. It's likely that the Mustangs are favored, but this has still been a good year for the Gauchos and we could well see them in the postseason in some form.
What a weekend.
Saint Mary's beat Cal Poly 43-38. Central Washington beat UCLA 47-41. Navy beat Penn State 29-26. Arizona beat BYU 32-22. So much fun. We're very happy to have been at UCLA vs CWU in-person.
