GRR: College Men
Air Force Academy and Colorado State headline the Rocky Mountain 7s tournament this weekend in Fort Collins, Colo.
This is a qualifier for the USA Rugby College 7s Championships, and could be the site of several upsets.
The California Conference and the list of which teams will make the DIA playoffs are both decided this weekend as St. Mary’s faces Santa Clara and Cal Poly takes on San Diego State.
St. Mary’s should beat Santa Clara and will then finish conference play 4-0. Really they don’t even need to win to clinch the conference, but the victory is what the Gaels are shooting for.
Way back on January 24 UC Davis beat Chico State 18-15 in the first round of the Pacific Western conference - and it may well be that the conference ends with the same matchup.
Having cut something of a swath through the first Big Ten Universities tournament, scoring less than 50 points only once, a 43-0 shutout of Ohio State’s 2nd team.
IU was unstoppable, slamming Illinois 54-10 in the final, and overall scoring 253 points in five games and allowing 34.
Indiana won the Big Ten Universities qualifier tournament this weekend, and in fact it wasn't really all that close. IU is highly motivated to do well in 7s, and thumped Illinois - who had already beaten Michigan, our previously highest-ranked Big Ten team - in the final.
