GRR: College Men
Below is the first week of Goff Rugby Report's Fall DI rankings.
In these rankings, we include only teams with significant 15s activity through the fall. So no Cal, no BYU or Life, no Arkansas State or St. Mary's or any teams from California, Washington, Arizona, or Oregon.
Marietta, Ga., (Life U. Release) – Life University Rugby has announced that it will conduct a search for a new Men's Rugby Head Coach after the news that current Head Coach Andrew “Tui” Osborne informed Life U officials today that he and his family will be relocating at the end of October.
AIC ’center Adrian Ray was a central part of his team’s victory over NEC this past weekend.
Ray, a power-running midfielder out of the Perry Street Prep program in Washington, DC, provided one of the great highlights of the day, thundering over a defender to score one of AIC’s four tries on the night.
The University of Minnesota-Duluth swept the field at the All-Minnesota tourney men’s college bracket, taking first place.
The Fighting Penguins had little trouble with most of their opponents, although Winona State provided a stern test in the final - a game Duluth won 26-12.
St. Louis University moved to 2-0 and Principia to 1-0 in the Gateway Rugby Conference.
Principia won 33-26 over Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) in the Thunder Chickens’ first league game, while travel problems forced Southern Illinois to forfeit to Maryville. St. Louis, meanwhile, won 50-7 over Central Missouri.
