College Women
Pool Play is done in the women’s DI college 7s championships.
Lindenwood held off Central Washington in the most dramatic game of the day, 7-5, thanks to a try under the posts. Penn State swept JMU and UC Davis to win Pool A at 2-0. Life crushed all before them.
Not a lot to report from the Women's DI college 7s nationals on Day One as a relatively small group of teams played just the one round of games.
The Women’s DII bracket in the USA Rugby College 7s Championships is the only tournament to start on Saturday, as everyone else starts on Friday. It makes sense, really, as these teams might be challenged in terms of depth and recovery, and as a result, one less day might help.
This is perhaps the most exciting women's DI college 7s field ever, with 11 teams, all of which - yes, every single one - have the ability to win it all.
There is not a single easy game in the tournament, and as such every game will need to be played to the utmost.
May 7 brought us five college championships games in Moraga, Calif, and the final one - one that might have been missed by the elated, the dejected, and the exhausted - turned out to be the most dramatic.
