Men's College Awards 2015-16
It's finally time for our Goff Rugby Report College Awards for the 2015-16 season; with a special wrinkle in that we already participate in an award, so we're going to fold that into our own.
Here are our awards for the Men:
Men's All Americans to be Named Soon
The USA Rugby Men’s Collegiate All Americans will likely be named Thursday or possibly Friday - at least part of the list, anyway.
DIA To Add Teams
The DIA College meetings were held this weekend and the conferences decided to add several teams for the 2016-17 season.
Every conference was represented at the meetings in Colorado, and among the many issues discussed was the addition of college programs hoping to move up.
Among the additions:
Saint Mary's Finally Does It
When colleges started playing serious 7s rugby, everyone assumed Saint Mary’s would be good at it; and so the Gaels were, but at the same time, they never won a national title.
They came close - finishing second in 2011 and usually pushing for a spot in the semis or winning the Plate. But Sunday, Saint Mary’s won it all.
Champions Crowned in Men's College 7s
With rain and storms threatening Sunday, the USA Rugby College 7s Championships knockout games were moved up to early in the morning, and so we have already crowned national champions in both Men's DI and Men's DII.
