GRR: NCR
Two major college programs in the Northeast should finally get on the field Saturday as Notre Dame College hosts St. Bonaventure.
The Collegiate Rugby Championship 7s event is back and under the aegis of National Collegiate Rugby.
NCR acquired the rights to the CRC tournament, name, and intellectual property and through NCR 7s Commissioner Pat Clifton has been developing how to bring the CRC competition back.
Here are the scores from Men's and Women's college around the country.
Men D1A and Other Divisions

Central Washington 27-27 BYU
Life 36-32 Lindenwood
Arizona 62-20 Grand Canyon
Southern Virginia 5-15 Mount St. Mary's
Women D1 Elite
Marian University took the field for the first time in collegiate rugby competition, taking on Lindenwood's 2nd 15 Saturday in St. Charles.
It was a good, generally well-played rugby game in which Lindenwood's time together and the fact that their 2nd side isn't that much different from their 1st side, saw the Lions win 46-3.
Rugby is returning to colleges around the country, and it’s worth keeping an eye on New Mexico, where young Head Coach Gearoid Dunbar running growing men’s and women’s programs.
