GRR: College Men
Salt Lake City, Utah - BYU retained the Wasatch Cup as the Cougars exploded for 76 points in defeating hosts Utah 76-31 Saturday.
“The score doesn’t tell the whole story of the game. We knew the Utes would be ready to play as they have in the past,” said BYU Head Coach David Smyth told BYURugby.com. “Our backs did a great job finding the holes leading to several tries.”
Life University moved to 3-0 and all but clinched the Mid-South DIA Conference with an 18-15 nailbiter at Lindenwood.
It’s right around Spring Break. Maybe the college players are done with mid-terms and looking ahead to final exams. For DIA rugby, that means the playoffs.
We had a look at the playoff scenarios and situations, and here’s what we’ve got:
Technically there’s nothing at stake in Salt Lake City this weekend. Utah has a shot at finishing 2nd in the PAC Rugby Conference, and may well have already done enough to warrant a DIA playoff invitation.
BYU is already slated for the Varsity Cup, where they expect to go all the way to the final.
Now the job gets a little harder.
After losing a close one to Life and winning a close one over Davenport, Lindenwood looks to unseat Life at home, and perhaps put them in a position to win the Mid-South.
