GRR: USC
Arizona State logged the team’s first victory in PAC Rugby Conference play with a 47-26 defeat of Southern California.
ASU started several younger players, and Head Coach Gary Lane said the game was enormously valuable for that reason alone. But those young players also played well.
The University of Southern California has removed the suspension it handed down to the USC men's rugby team last fall.
The University of Southern California men's rugby team has issued a statement in the wake of the team receiving a suspension from the University.
The statement, reprinted in its entirety below, explains why the team received the suspension:
The University of Southern California men's rugby team has been suspended for the fall of 2016.
In a statement, USC Head Rugby Coach Dominic Riebli said the team is withdrawing from all fall 7s tournaments, and that the team's spring schedule is currently in doubt. Riebli did not say why the team has been suspended, saying that he was unsure if he was at liberty to discuss details.
Making the DII Women's National Spring Final Four is no small feat, especially if you're Salisbury, Tulane, Southern California, or Humboldt State. Each of these teams not only clawed their way through the normal resistance of competition, retention of numbers, injury, and exhaustion, but they also handily took the win from their oppositions on April 10 during the Round of 16.
