As is the trend these days, Kent State returns to the pitch this fall to an altered landscape. The two-time reigning Mid-American Conference (MAC) champion has seen its league whittle down to four teams, a drop that has cost the conference its automatic berth to DI national playoffs. But the Ohio team is taking the changes in stride.
Reigning conference champion Colgate started the Excelsior season with a 15-0 win over SUNY Oneonta last weekend, but the day was tinged with misfortune.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (Penn State Release) – The Pennsylvania State University has named Blake Burdette and Kate Daley head coaches of the Men’s and Women’s programs respectively. Following a three-month search led by Director of Rugby, Chris Amoratis, the two were selected to fill the first ever full-time coach positions in the program’s history.
Central Washington has built a diverse schedule this fall. The DI program has booked some East Coast and top-tier women’s club matches while also playing a full Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference (PMRC) lineup. That’s 11 games over seven weekends for the national 7s and 15s runner-up.
The second DI game of the varsity season occurred between Army and American International College yesterday, and the Cadets put themselves on the winning end of a thrilling 29-26 contest. The Yellow Jackets did well to overcome a two-try deficit in the first half and even briefly took the lead, but a 75th minute try gave the West Pointers the cushion they needed for the win.
