GRR: CRAA
College Rugby Association of America has named its D1AA All Americans, picking a 1st team squad of 23 and 15 honorable mentions.
Five players from champions University of San Diego make the 1st team, while Iowa State, Sam Houston State, and Western Washington all had significant representation.
Western Washington University shut out the University of Oregon to win CRAA's D1AA 7s Sunday in Bellingham, Wash.
WWU's defense was outstanding all weekend, as they allowed only 34 points in six games. Oregon's defense was equally as good, and in fact they came into the final having shut out four straight opponents, including San Jose State in the semifinal (31-0).
CRAA's D1AA Men's 7s kicks off Saturday morning with 10 teams fighting it out in Bellingham, Wash.

The University of San Diego’s CRAA D1AA championship was not without hiccups, but in the end it was brilliantly finished.
CRAA's spring bowl games produced plenty of drama and a nice way for St. Thomas to cap off their season.
A relatively new varsity program, St. Thomas held off Air Force in a clash between the Florida D1AA champion and a talented but non-playoff D1A team. Both teams came to play rugby and both teams had talent on their rosters.
