Navy advances to the D1A final for the second year in a row after the Midshipmen defeated Life University 27-17.
On a day of perfect weather and only a light breeze, the day centered around kicking, goalline defenses, and some key big players.
It’s Finals Week at BYU and while the Cougars have been preparing for a D1A semifinal, they are also deep into preparing for important exams and term papers.
“There are enormous demands on the players’ time,” said Head Coach Steve St. Pierre. “It’s a really important week.”
Life is at Navy for the D1A Eastern semifinal and these two teams have already met; in fact, that original meeting was a big deal.
Navy won that game, and the scoreline, 20-14, was one of their closest games of the season.
Florida’s D1AA league comes down to this Saturday as St. Thomas takes on Florida.
This is definitely an old-vs-new matchup with Florida being a club program that has been in action, and successful for a very long time. St. Thomas, on the other hand, is a quite new school-supported program with a paid coach and athletic-department status.
Several teams are starting to put their hands up in collegiate 7s this spring.
