GRR: College Men
Medford, NJ - The NSCRO Small College National Championship is set for action this coming weekend at Infinity Park in Rugbytown USA, Glendale, Colorado. The event features the return of two-time defending champion, St. John’s University (Collegeville, MN) looking for a 3-peat. The Johnnies will face Mount St. Mary's University (Emmitsburg, MD) in the first semifinal at 1:00PM MDT.
We're down to the DIAA quarterfinals, and by the end of the weekend we will have the final two teams for the May 9 final at Kennesaw State University.
It's a mishmash of teams in the QFs, as some teams qualified last fall, some recently, and some when they were least expected to. Here's a look at the teams, the matchups, and our picks.
Life University has been off for three weeks and goes into this weekend’s DIA quarterfinal against Penn State well-rested.
And don’t think they’ll b rusty. Life has shown repeatedly that they can switch it on when they need to.
Davenport University and Army are acquainted, as the two teams met in the DIA playoffs last year; and this year a place in the semifinals is at stake between the two teams.
So is this the St. Mary’s team that took apart Utah in Moraga, or the team that lost to the same Utes in Salt Lake City?
Is this the Utah team that seemed at sea against a speedy and decisive Gaels squad, or the one that beat St. Mary’s 49-21 and playing some wide open rugby of their own?
Well, let’s see.
