Eastern Washington capped off an undefeated run in the Cascade Collegiate Women’s Rugby Conference with a 36-27 defeat of Western Washington Saturday.
The win put EWU at 5-0, and dropped WWU to 3-2 and out of contention for the championship game, which will be between EWU and Western Oregon. Those two teams battled to a 7-0 EWU win last fall, and so the final should be a good one.
Longtime University of Northern Iowa women's coach Steve Murra died Saturday, Feb. 20, he was 47.
Murra coached at UNI for 21 years, winning two national championships and multiple Midwest titles, before stepping down at the end of last season to spend more time with his family. At the time of his stepping down, Murra said in a Facebook post:
Emory and Clemson will be meeting each other on the pitch Saturday morning after a brief hiatus. Both teams are facing a numbers issue due to injuries and will be playing 13s for their bout.
Although Emory has limited numbers, they’re known to be fit scrappers. After their 84-0 win over GSU and a loss against Georgia Tech, Emory is looking for a win to make it to playoffs.
Who gets into the Cascade Collegiate Women's Rugby Conference comes down to the final weekend of conference play.
Kennesaw State has been pretty much guaranteed a spot in the playoffs after defeating North Georgia, 36-10 this past weekend.
The Owls still need to make it past MTSU in order to claim the achievement of an undefeated season; however, MTSU has forfeited every game thus far and is expected to do so again.
