DIAA College Rugby News
Here are scores from this weekend in DIAA college rugby.
These include the NCRC semis: Oregon vs WSU and WWU vs Boise State.
We don't make a lot of changes this week with the DIAA rankings.
Fresno State, having beaten Chico State two weeks ago, didn't consolidate that victory by beating UC Santa Cruz. Instead, the Bulldogs tied the Banana Slugs. With Chico State looking solid with a win over Sac State, you could argue that we could throw out Chico State's close loss to Fresno, and move Chico higher.
With the NCRC waiting a week before the playoffs, and the Heart of America not having' restarted yet, we've got Florida, Pacific Western, Lonestar, and Gold Coast in action.
The NCRC playoffs are set for February 29 after this past weekend's results, and the key mover is the University of Oregon.
After losing to Western Washington in the fall, the Ducks were chasing the Vikings for 1st in the NCRC Pool A. But Western's early-season loss to Oregon State left the door open for Oregon to get 1st, and therefore a home game in the semis.
It was a somewhat quiet weekend in DIAA, but these players made some noise.
