DIA Rugby News
Saint Mary’s center Dylan Audsley has been named as the first-ever Rudy Scholz Award Winner as the best men’s college rugby player in the country.
The award, presented by the Washington Athletic Club of Seattle, Wash. in conjunction with Goff Rugby Report, will be formally presented at a gala event on June 11.
St. Mary’s joined Lindenwood, Life, and Utah in the DIA semifinals with a convincing 77-17 defeat of Air Force Sunday.
On a rainy Saturday night in Salt Lake City, the University of Utah defeated the University of Arizona 36-14 to advance to the DIA semifinals.
Arizona broke out with a try and a penalty to lead 8-0, and while Taylor Thomas put in a try for the Utes, Arizona stayed ahead with another penalty to make it 11-5 at halftime.
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 all about playoff time this week.
All of the games we list are between ranked teams. We've got Varsity Cup semis, the DIAA quarters, and the DIA quarters, as well. Note, of course, that Air Force plays Cal Poly in the DIA first round game that was snowed out last week. The quarterfinal against St. Mary's will be played Sunday.
