Women DI College Top 20: Feb. 4, 2015
There’s plenty to update as we post our first Women’s DI College Rankings of 2015. The western and southern regions are up and moving, which means we’ll have to gauge those teams’ development against fall-oriented teams that have already peaked.

With 15 minutes left in the match, DI Mason Dixon rivals North Carolina and Virginia were within two points of each other. One might have sided with UVA to pull ahead in the final quarter considering the team had a much more successful fall record. But it was the Tar Heels in its first conference match of the season that surged with three tries and a 29-10 win.

Saturday was an important day for Life University, as the women’s team played its first matrix match in the DI Southeast Independent Rugby Conference. The Running Eagles celebrated in convincing fashion, running in 15 tries during the 90-0 victory over Florida State.

After a lackluster start to its league season, Stanford rebounded with a convincing 52-0 win over Chico State to improve to 2-0 and top the Pacific Mountain Conference’s West standings. The Wildcats are now 0-2.
