GRR: Women DI College
There is still a lot of speculation as to who is competing in the new USA Rugby Fall 15s Championship sponsored by ACRA and what that means for the spring. We have an incomplete picture of the upcoming Round of 16 (Nov. 15); however, we’ve checked in with a few of the top DI teams to see where they’re figuring in.
It’s been a month since our last Women DI College rankings, and we’ve got some explaining to do.
West Chester got its second conference win of the season, getting a little more push-back from James Madison than Temple, but still recording a 67-5 victory.
No one ever accused the Ivy League of being predictable. The women’s DI conference started interestingly enough, as varsity teams Brown and Harvard battled to a 24-15 decision (in Brown’s favor), but akin to seasons past, the upsets are far from over.
Air Force delivered another blow to the Navy women, defeating the visiting Midshipmen 47-22 in front of a dense crowd last weekend. Navy, an Independent DI team competing in ACRA, needs to hit a hot streak if it’s to be considered as an at-large inclusion in playoffs.
