Keystone Loses 1, Adds 3
The Keystone Rugby Conference has expanded its roster of teams even as the conference loses its defending champion.
DIAA Playoffs - Our Picks
We're down to the DIAA quarterfinals, and by the end of the weekend we will have the final two teams for the May 9 final at Kennesaw State University.
It's a mishmash of teams in the QFs, as some teams qualified last fall, some recently, and some when they were least expected to. Here's a look at the teams, the matchups, and our picks.
WVU Changing Conferences
West Virginia University's men's rugby team is one tiny step away from joining the Rugby East Conference for the 2015-2016 college season.
The Rugby East voted earlier this week to accept WVU into the conference. Now what remains is for USA Rugby's DIA Commissioner, Kevin Battle, to OK the move. However it's unlikely Battle will see a major problem with the move.
WVU, Stony Brook Relish Bowl ChanceOne of the intriguing things about the ACRC Bowl Series is that conference champions can be matched up to face each other. Such is the case with Keystone winners West Virginia taking on Empire champions Stony Brook. Both teams have been impressive in winning their leagues. Both had one rival (St. Joseph’s for WVU, Kings Point for Stony Brook) who tested them.
WVU Likes Clarity of WinSometimes winning has a hint of regret in it, and for West Virginia University, winning the Keystone Conference last year carried with it a bit of the dark cloud in the silver lining. WVU, St. Joseph’s, and Shippensburg ended the 2013 fall season tied at the top of the standings.
