The Mason Dixon conference is now down to two: West Chester and North Carolina. The pair will play in tomorrow’s conference championship, and the victor will receive the automatic bye into the spring Round of 16.
Today was Central Washington’s coming-out party. Teams within the Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference are well versed in the Wildcats’ attributes, but none of the playoff-bound teams – save Washington State – had actually seen CWU play in person until today. So Central Washington made a statement, posting 101 unanswered points against Chico State.
What to expect when you’re expecting good rugby? Below are previews of the four Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference (PMRC) quarterfinals, which will take place tomorrow at Stanford. The semifinal round, which is the final round, will be held Sunday.
There isn’t a ton to report on the Women’s DI College Top 20, mostly because the previous two weeks fell between the end of regular season and playoffs. So several teams were either “idle,” in that they were preparing for the post-season on the practice pitch, or contested friendlies.
It was a bittersweet moment for Amy Naber. The 24-year-old was playing in her final 15s match for the University of Arizona, and it was against in-state rival Arizona State.
