GRR: BYU
Central Washington has perfected the art of the comeback, rallying from a 15-point deficit against Women's Cougar Rugby (BYU) to win the DI spring championship 29-15. The game looked eerily similar to yesterday's semifinal against Life, which took a 17-5 halftime lead before being held scoreless in the second half.
It’s down to two teams: Either BYU or Central Washington will advance to the May 9 national bout as the spring champion. Two very different games evolved today, but both exciting.
Division I is four games away from naming its 2014-15 women’s college champion. The spring semifinalists will compete on Friday, April 24, at Pittsburgh’s Founders Field, and name the spring champion on Saturday. The national final occurs on May 9 against fall champion Penn State.
Cal defeated the United States Naval Academy 57-15 Saturday in the Varsity Cup semifinals to book the Bears’ third-straight spot in the Varsity Cup final.
Cal improved to 17-1, with a solid performance in their final home game over a tough Navy side.
BYU’s Saturday evening is a little different from its fellow DI playoff contenders. The Cougars now know they’re heading to the spring Final Four in Pittsburgh, having contested its first two rounds in Albuquerque on Friday and Saturday. Yesterday, BYU blanked Cal 97-0; today, the Cougars topped New Mexico 75-5.
