GRR: College Men
We talked about this a lot last year and it's even more true this year—any team out of the top nine could be a national champion.
Central Washington pulled off an impressive win over BYU on Saturday, taking down the Cougars 21-12.
It was a windy day and CWU played into the wind in the first half. That, of course, favored BYU to a certain extent, but the wind normally benefits teams that kick and BYU loves to run.
Army West Point pulled off a bit of a shocker Saturday, defeating visiting Cal 27-14 at Anderson Rugby Complex.
The day began with a moving moment of silence for Stephen Dwyer, an Army Rugby alumnus who was one of those who died in the helicopter crash in November in the Mediterranean. Cal rugby presented the Army team with a commemorative wreath before the match.
Navy had decent but maybe not perfect first outing for 2024 but they did come away with a win.
For the Midshipmen you'd expect them to be prepared and fit, and building from a superb fall, but training is just that ... training.
Longtime rivals meet up in college rugby this weekend as the old Mid-South has a sort of reunion weekend, and all four of the teams involved are in GRR's Top 10.
Life University is coming off a victory over Lindenwood that launched them up to #3. They take on Arkansas State, a team we moved up to #2.
