GRR: NCRC
This week we've got the Heart of America back in action and a chance for Kansas to wrap up this conference soon.
We've looked more closely at University of South Florida, and USF has a massive test against Central Florida this week. This is a game that could tell us a lot about who will move to the top in that conference.
The Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference crowns its champion this weekend with Western Washington visiting the University of Oregon Ducks.
Here are scores from this weekend in DIAA college rugby.
These include the NCRC semis: Oregon vs WSU and WWU vs Boise State.
The NCRC playoffs are set for February 29 after this past weekend's results, and the key mover is the University of Oregon.
After losing to Western Washington in the fall, the Ducks were chasing the Vikings for 1st in the NCRC Pool A. But Western's early-season loss to Oregon State left the door open for Oregon to get 1st, and therefore a home game in the semis.
Well this past weekend churned up the NCRC, even as the playoff berths were clinched.
Western Washington went into the weekend at 4-1 and in position to clinch 1st in the NCRC North, but instead lost to Oregon 18-12.
That was on the heels of a strangely close 17-15 loss to the University of Washington.
