GRR: Women DI College
The big news in the Women’s DI College Top 20 is the fall of New Mexico, which played a devastating game against Women’s Cougar Rugby (BYU) last weekend. Yes, it was a pre-season friendly, and yes, the game was held on BYU’s home turf, but a 100-point difference is significant. Read more here.
New Mexico is a top-10 team, and that ranking hinged greatly on its one-point victory over Women’s Cougar Rugby (BYU) last November.

Host BYU dominated New Mexico during a 105-5 romp.
Two weekends ago, it looked like Arizona was going to upset the Pacific Mountain Conference (PMC) South leader, UC San Diego, as it entered the half up 21-0. But then the scales of experience shifted the match into the Tritons’ favor and the win slipped away.
The Mason Dixon conference is two games away from determining its Women’s DI College quarterfinal match-ups, but the pairings haven’t been as straight-forward as expected.
The Pacific Mountain Conference is two weekends away from naming its DI quarterfinal contestants. Each of the three competitions - North, South, West - knows its champion, but the remaining league games will be important for naming the #2s, most notably for the South.
