DIAA College Rugby News
So we're back with the spring-focused conferences and already they've been in action.
Of note, Central Florida lost one game and won another by a single point. That's not a terrible start, but it's not enough to keep them in the Top 20. Other Florida results are enough to bring more Florida teams into the Top 40. We expect at least one team to start to separate and move further up.
Central Florida eked out a tight win over Florida International to get the Knights' first victory of the Florida DIAA league season.
Meanwhile, South Florida, Florida State, and Florida Atlantic all improved to 2-0, as they, along with 1-1 North Florida and Central Florida, look to be the stronger teams in the competition.
Fresno Sate, Chico State, and Sacramento State all started on a winning note as the Pacific Western DIAA conference got started this week.
Check back for scores on Men's D1A and D1AA college games this weekend.
D1A
Texas State moved to 5-0 in the Lonestar Tier 2 South and Sam Houston State remained undefeated in Tier 1 after wins this past weekend.
Texas State got an early try from scrumhalf Matthew Lester and punished a pair of Prairie View A&M yellow card with two-five-pointers (lfyhalf Nicholas Smith and hooker Patrick Sanchez) for a 19-0 lead after 25 minutes.
