Women DII College Playoffs Ready to Go
The USA Rugby Women's DII College playoffs are here with a massive field of 24 teams slated to play this weekend.
RPI, Vassar Leads into Tri-State Playoffs
RPI defeated SUNY New Paltz 41-0 to complete an undefeated run in the Tri-State Women's DII Conference, setting up a rematch with New Paltz on Saturday in the first round of the conference playoffs.
Six other teams are in the first round of the playoffs, while the top four from the North - Vassar, Albany, Marist, and Stony Brook - get a bye to the next round.
Women College Playoff Dates Set
USA Rugby has released its Women's College playoff dates for 2016-17.
This will be a second stab at a split playoff system, with a fall playoff and a spring playoff, culminating in a clash between the fall and spring winners in a final (potentially) in May.
College Rugby Academic Honor Roll
USA Rugby has released its list of Men's and Women's College academic honor roll.
These are active rugby players who have achieved a high grade point average in the past academic year. The list includes 254 student-athletes.
College Story of the Year - The Split
The ongoing story of the year in Men’s college rugby was obvious to me before I had my conversation with Wayne Milner, but that conversation certainly confirmed it.
Milner is the senior VP at the Washington Athletic Club in Seattle, and we met last fall to initiate talks that led to the formation of the Rudy Scholz and MA Sorensen awards.
