DIA Rugby News
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.
What to do about the DIA first-round game that was snowed out has apparently been straightened out.
For most of the teams in DI-level rugby, the spring now means thinking about 7s and finals and rehashing the season.
For some, though, some sort of championships still beckons, and the games they are playing mean plenty - this is where a team has to be playing its best, and we assign plenty of importance to those games.
