It’s been a pretty good 10 months or so for Sam Houston State.
After the Bearkats went winless through the R7CC 7s tournament in Atlanta last May, Sam Houston turned it around and won the DIAA bracket at the CRC two weeks later.
The usually tight Florida DIAA conference has become even tighter.
The Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference has announced that it is bringing two new members into the conference at the D1AA competition level.
The University of Pennsylvania will be joining effective for spring 2023 7s competition; Virginia Tech Rugby Football Club will be joining effective for fall 2023 15s competition.
Sam Houston State held off Texas State in a very busy and challenging Lonestar Conference finals weekend to win the conference.
The tournament featured three games over two days, with shortened quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday and the final on Sunday.
Arizona pushed Cal 36-17 Saturday in PAC Rugby Conference action.
The result took Cal to 9-0 and to 3-0 in the conference, which the Bears have now clinched, but it was also notable for how close it was, as a Wildcat team that was beaten soundly by Cal a year ago were within a score with 20 minutes to go.
