College Men
It took 13 hours and wasn’t settled until the last game, but the Men’s DI College Championships got its first day of action in the books.
St. Mary’s and Central Washington looked unstoppable. Both teams had their little moments, but in the end always righted the ship and severely punished opposition mistakes.
The first round of the Men’s DI College 7s Championships is done and most of the big names have started well.
St. Mary’s just wouldn’t let Colorado State go anywhere, and with Holden Yungert scoring three tries, the Gaels looked fairly polished for their first run-out.
The first two rounds of Men’s DII games are done in the USA Rugby College 7s Championships, with high-profile teams showing why they are high-profile.
Priincipia were burned by Providence early but their ball movement and pace were too much in the end as the defending champion Thunder Chickens won going away 35-12. Jordan Anderson scored two tries for Principia.

It may seem like a million years ago that Principia won the 2013-14 USA Rugby Men’s DII College 7s Championships, but it’s really just last season.
And while the Thunder Chickens have had a little bit of turnover in their squad, namely Naveed Hosseinmardi graduating, they return the lion’s share of a championship team that was deceptively strong in the breakdown and very quick.
