GRR: Grand Canyon University
This is a huge weekend in women’s D1 rugby as the eight teams make the playoffs.
As much as everyone likes to avoid two-game weekend, this will be … a two-game weekend. Friday will be the quarterfinals and Sunday will see the semifinals—everything held in Tempe, Ariz.
GRR's #1-ranked Cal team came out of the weekend with two victories.
On Saturday, Cal defeated Grand Canyon 86-21. This is a rebuilding GCU side, and they got a bit of a lesson rom an experienced Golden Bears outfit.
Scrumhalf Cormac Saint scored the opening two tries of the game and added six conversions, all in the first half, for 22 points on his own.
Grand Canyon's two-game tour of Colorado wrapped up Sunday with a 24-15 loss to Colorado State.
As we outlined in the report on GCU's opening match, a 25-15 loss to Colorado, this is the first run-out for GCU with their D1A lineup and a good road test for them, wins or losses.
Grand Canyon University kicked off their season with a two-game tour of Colorado.
The 'Lopes opened the trip Friday night with a matchup against Colorado University, and Sunday against Colorado State.
The opener was GCU's first runout and it looked it. They were hit with mistakes and committed a ton of penalties.
The Stanford Women's Rugby team clinched the CRAA Women's D1 Championship title in a game that saw them victorious over Grand Canyon University 'Lopes with a final score of 36-19 on May 5th.
