College Women
UW Steven’s Point was busy last weekend, winning the Ball’s Out Brawl on Saturday and hosting a 7s tournament Saturday.
The Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference has named its 1st and 2nd All Conference teams, as well as Honorable Mentions. The conference is composed of three DI divisions - North, West, South - and the players were chosen after a heated PMRC playoff weekend at Stanford. The conference will hold an all-star camp and games in June.
Black Katts throughout the Midwest were celebrating big wins last weekend, as the DII powerhouse won its 8th consecutive Foolsfest title. The win was a testament to Winona’s depth, as the school had lent five of its best players to the Minnesota U24s for the Midwest LAU tournament in Davenport, Iowa.
The Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference (MARC) pooled 12 teams together for the first of its women's college 7s series, and DII Bloomsburg finished the day with a perfect record and tournament trophy. It was quite the accomplishment for a team that has played in only one 7s tournament previous to Saturday’s title run.
Notre Dame College hosted a four-team women’s 7s tournament last weekend, and the victor was guaranteed a berth to the national 7s championship on May 23-24 in Denver. DI Michigan and Ohio State got in some good warm-up games as they look toward this weekend’s Big Ten 7s championship, but the event was all about Notre Dame College vs. Davenport.
