DIAA College Rugby News
The split of collegiate rugby has resulted in a long list of major championships, and while some of that isn't any different from the way it's always been, there are now some championships split upon split upon split.
This is the final DIAA ranking of the fall of 2021, and we make a few changes, based largely on the two games of the past weekend, Wheeling vs Iowa Central and, of course, Virginia Tech vs West Chester.
The Southeastern Collegiate Rugby Conference has named the 2021 All-Conference for both Division I and Division II. Conference and Collegiate Club Rugby National Champs Tennessee and Auburn led the way with 9 players selected from teach team.
Tennessee’s Greg Janowick and Auburn’s Niko Spino were each selected as Player of the Year for the respective divisions.
Virginia Tech defeated West Chester 34-22 in the NCR DIAA final, capping off an improbably run for the self-coaches Hokies.
Wheeling University held off a comeback from Iowa Central CC to win the NCR bowl game between the two teams at Aveva Stadium in Houston Saturday.
Wheeling's pace and explosiveness saw them through, while Iowa Central will be ruiing a couple of errors and a couple of missed tackles, as the Cardinals emerged 29-24 winners over the Tritons.
