GRR: College Men
One of the things college rugby fans will be seeing as we move into winter is more rugby action from the West Coast among D1A teams.
Dustin Steedman is stepping down at Head Coach of Davenport University's men's rugby program.
Steedman is moving to Texas to take up a new business opportunity outside of rugby, and while he said he hopes to be involved in the game in the Houston area, he will be working full-time in commercial real estate.
We're down to four teams in Men's D2 college rugby as Sunday saw the NCR D2 quarterfinals.
GRR's #1-ranked IUP won their closest game of the year, edging a tenacious UNC-Wilmington 29-24 to advance to the semifinals in Houston in three weeks.
