College Women
The CRC runs competitions for 144 teams this coming weekend.
We already looked at the Men’s Premier, which is the largest bracket with 32 teams. Every other bracket has 16 teams—seven brackets, 112 teams. It’s massively ambitious and it’s pretty impressive to run a tournament of that size (there are a few that do this, and one or two are bigger, but it’s still pretty big).
Stanford beat Cal in impressive fashion Saturday to win the CRAA Women's D1 title, but it wasn't all Cardinal, as the Bears showed that, yes, they can play rugby too.
Cal came out determined to hit Stanford hard and pressure them into mistakes.
Lindenwood regained the women's D1A title they lost last year, taking what was, once again, a tight final against Life 19-15.
This was the seventh straight D1A final between these two teams. Played at Stanford University, it may be the last as Lindenwood is now an NCAA varsity team and is expected to play a NIRA schedule next year.
Three days after their rugby teams lost in the playoffs, Central Washington University has decided to discontinue varsity support for its two rugby programs.
Both the Men's and Women's rugby teams were varsity level. Both had enjoyed very good seasons this year. However, the decision had little to do with performance on the field and much, much more to do with financial issues.
It was a tale of two very different semifinals in women's D1A this past weekend.
Lindenwood defeated Central Washington 29-5 in a demonstration of what it takes to break tackles.
