GRR: NCRC
The University of Washington Huskies defeated Washington State 29-12 to close out the NCRC regular season.
UW also took bragging rights in the Apple Cup rivalry game. But more important is that Washington now has a home semifinal game against those same WSU Cougars next week.
In a weekend of college rivalry games, University of Washington v Washington State is a pretty good one to watch.
During the season the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference has not been keeping regular public records on their standings and scores; we at Goff Rugby Report did the job ourselves.
Western Washington clinched 1st place in the NCRC, and Boise State did just enough to secure a playoff spot, as WWU defeated BSU 56-24 Saturday in Bellingham, Wash.
The four semifinalists in the NCRC are settled after this weekend’s games, but the final seedings are yet to be decided.
In the game between the top two programs, Western Washington defeated Washington 26-17 to jump into a tie for 1st. Nate Muir led the way for the Vikings up front, powering into rucks and also scoring a key try.
