DIA Rugby News
Trivia question: Of the five DIA finals held, how many were decided by more than a try?
Answer: One.
That’s right, one. And that one, Saint Mary’s 21 Life 6 in 2014, was close until the very end when the Gaels scored a try at the death.
We almost didn't run a new DI rankings this week, given that there were so few games and they ran according to plan.
MORAGA, Calif. - The 2016 USA Rugby College 15s National Championships, consisting of five championship matches at Saint Mary's College Saturday, May 7, will be broadcast live from 9am to 7pm PT on The Rugby Channel.
The broadcast will be free and can be found here: www.therugbychannel.tv
Life University and Saint Mary’s will meet each other once more for the DIA championship, marking the fourth year in a row that these two schools will meet for the top prize in college rugby.
Life rode a superb defensive performance to a 41-7 victory over Lindenwood.
Men’s DI College 15s rugby is very quiet this weekend, so the two games of note better make some noise.
Saint Mary’s hosts Utah in one semi. Saint Mary’s looked shaky at times through the season. The Gaels pushed BYU 30-29 early in the season, but on a two-game trip to Utah lost big to those same Cougars and almost lost to Utah in a 57-50 barnburner.
