DIAA College Rugby News
A number of the games that decided playoff spots or seeds in NCR’s D1AA playoffs were very close, indicating, perhaps, that we might see much the same this weekend.
Consider Bowling Green’s comeback, one-point win over Louisville that put BGSU in the final eight and left the 2023 NCR runners-up watching from home.
The University of Washington Huskies put up a bit of a marker over the weekend, beating Oregon 14-10 on a cold, wet day in Seattle.
In a wildly entertaining and tense Mid American Conference final, Bowling Green came back from 20 points down to defeat the Louisville Cardinals 34-33 and win the conference championship.
These teams have played twice this season, both Bowling Green victories, and both by a single point. The earlier match ended up 28-27 for the Falcons.
With LSU's impressive victory on the road against NC State and a dramatic MAC final we now know our NCR D1AA final eight.
LSU beat South Carolina last week to take 3rd in the SCRC and that put them up against top Southern Conference team North Carolina State.
The Tigers won 40-10 and booked a spot in the NCR quarterfinals.
It's a quiet weekend in Men's NCR D1 and D1A rugby in part because this is the Play-in weekend for NCR's playoff, so no regular games were scheduled at this time.
In addition, this is a good time to just clear off your desk of school stuff with Thanksgiving looming.
