SCRC News
Kentucky and Clemson won relatively comfortably in their SCRC semifinals to set up next weekend's final.
The Wildcats defeated a hard-nosed South Carolina side 29-15.
LSU pulled off perhaps the biggest upset of D1AA rugby this fall last weekend, beating Tennessee 24-22 in the first round of the SCRC playoffs.
For the Tigers, this was their first chance to play one of the more pedigreed teams in the SCRC, so while they had been kept a secret, LSU knew the secret.
The SCRC D1AA season is fairly short, with teams only playing two pool games before the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean the teams’ schedule as whole is short.
The conference itself kicks off September 21 with Kentucky at Alabama, and really gets going with games on October 5, 12, and 19. The conference is split into three pools—East, West, and South.
Let’s take a look.
The University of South Carolina men's rugby program has announced an expansion of its scholarship offerings.
Last fall, Head Coach John Roberts and Assistant Coach Jeff Smolka began working with university officials to dramatically expand the club’s scholarship program beyond in-state tuition to student-athletes after their freshman year.
The Southeastern Collegiate Rugby Conference has named its conference MVPs and Coaches of the Year, along with their All-Conference selections for all three divisions.
SCRC rugby is played in D1AA, D2, and Small College, so there are selections for each. Not surprisngly, NCR D1AA champion Kentucky and NCR D2 runner-up Memphis are heavily represented.
