GRR: Women College 7s
Princeton University will be hosting the first ever Emperor Tournament, honoring rugby legend Emil Signes on March 31.
The women’s 7s tournament will be held at Princeton’s Rickerson Fields and honors the godfather of American 7s and women's 7s' greatest champion, Emil Signes.
Cal won their 5th-straight CRC Sunday, defeating Life University 19-0 in the final.
The final day of the CRC was a test, and maybe a final exam, of how difficult a top-level 7s tournament can be. Fit and aggressive, Lindenwood expected to make the final, but in the end some execution and discipline breakdowns cost them and it was Life that won that semi.
We're coming close to figuring out who is playing where in women's college 7s.
USA Rugby has still not announced officially what are their qualifiers. What they have is a list of tournaments that applied for qualifier status, but no confirmation that those are the qualifiers. But, while they say "Never Assume" we are making some assumptions along the way.
The Women’s Collegiate All Americans finished 2nd in the ATAVUS Women’s Elite 7s in Infinity Park last weekend, losing in the final to an Eagle-lade Scion team, but the experience was a useful one nonetheless.
Life University pulled off a USA Rugby/CRC double, as the Running Eagles defeated Lindenwood 19-10 in the final at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pa.
Life scored early with some good ball movement setting up Christina Swift, who ripped the ball out of a ruck and galloped in for the first try.
