GRR: Air Force
St. Mary’s joined Lindenwood, Life, and Utah in the DIA semifinals with a convincing 77-17 defeat of Air Force Sunday.
Air Force defeated Cal Poly 43-17 Saturday in Moraga, Calif. to move on to a DIA quarterfinals Sunday against St. Mary’s.
The game was postponed from last week due to snow in Colorado, and Air Force traveled to Northern California at short notice to play two games in two days.
It’s a quick turnaround from the regular season to the DIA playoffs, but the first round is indeed upon us this coming weekend.
Eight teams enter the playoffs from all over the country, and all with some significant game-hardening behind them. Here’s a look:
Going into this weekend’s Varsity Cup 1st round game against Air Force, the University of Utah team had to be wondering if they had bitten off more than they could chew.
In the last four weeks they’ve played St. Mary’s, UCLA, Army, Cal, and BYU, all competitive or achingly close losses, and then this week the Utes were under pressure from another opponent, the flu.
The month of April is around the corner and that means playoff time in college rugby, including the Varsity Cup.
