GRR: CRAA
The College Rugby Association of America (CRAA) caps off its season (with one exception) this coming weekend at Kuntz Stadium in Indianapolis.
The weekend will be three days of rugby, with men's 15s championship games plus two women's 7s tournaments. Here's what's up:
The CRAA D1AA semifinals matchups are set after San Diego won their playoff game Saturday.
The USD Toreros will play Iowa State, the team they defeated to win it all last year. Meanwhile, Florida champions St. Thomas will face Sam Houston State. The winners will play Sunday for the championship.
The new CRAA Challenger Cup has its finalists as Grand Canyon and Mary Washington won their semifinals by wide margins.
GCU beat a tough Utah State team 72-6 to advance. USU took an early lead with a penalty from Franco Tellechea and stayed on the strong foot for quite a while. However, GCU's defense was up to the task.
Stanford beat Cal in impressive fashion Saturday to win the CRAA Women's D1 title, but it wasn't all Cardinal, as the Bears showed that, yes, they can play rugby too.
Cal came out determined to hit Stanford hard and pressure them into mistakes.
CRAA’s new Challenger Cup playoff in Men’s D1A action had a pretty successful first weekend with two very competitive games.
