College Women
Following the NSCRO Women’s Small College National Championship, both the all-tournament team and Heart-and-Soul awards were presented.
Women’s Collegiate All American coach Martha Daines selected the All-NSCRO Championship XV and presented the 15 players with a trophy and t-shirt provided by World Rugby Shop. Daines chose Roger Williams No. 8 Sadia Crosby as the championship MVP.
The National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO) released its women's top 20 ranking for the 2014 fall season.
It took three years, but Roger Williams finally has its trophy. After second- and fourth-place finishes at the previous two championships, the Rhode Island team took home the women’s National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO) title after back-to-back victories against UM Moorhead and Sacred Heart.
Not too much movement in the Women DI College Rankings, despite the onset of the fall playoffs. A few key games outside of the ACRA-sponsored championship proved important, however, but no one team moved more than two spots.
The big thing that occurred since our last Women DII College Top 20 was the fall championship playoffs. These cross-conference games lent some perspective to the relative strength of regions, and also made room for West Coast teams that have taken down DI sides during tournament season.
