CRAA Finals Weekend Features 15s and 7s
The CRAA Championship weekend schedule is set as five 15s games and two 7s tournaments descend on SaberCats Stadium in Houston.
The Rugby Network will be carrying these games live.
Here’s what’s at stake:
Cal Storms Past BYU in Big Second Half
Cal rode a massive scoring burst in the second half to defeat longtime rivals BYU 55-31 Saturday at Witter Rugby Field in Berkeley.
This was the second of two D1A semifinals on Saturday, with Navy having won 12-10 earlier in the day.
“Congratulations to BYU on a really fine season,” said Cal Head Coach Jack Clark. “Proud of our boys for advancing.”
As Close as You Can Get: Navy over Lindenwood
In a battle of wills and constant momentum shifts, the US Naval Academy held off Lindenwood 12-10 to win their D1A semifinal Saturday and book a place in the national final in Houston.
On a pleasant but windy day in Annapolis, Md., the breeze was certainly a factor, but, strangle, all but three of the points on the day were score against the wind.
After Delay, Lindenwood Punches Ticket
Weather delayed Lindenwood vs Life Saturday, the fourth of four quarterfinals scheduled for the day, and so it wasn’t until Sunday that the game was played.
Fortunately Life was able to hang on and play the game on Sunday.
Cal, Navy, and BYU Make D1A Semifinals
Navy continued its impressive run as the best of D1A made the final four this weekend.
The Midshipmen defeated Army for the third time this season, this time making it relatively emphatic at 30-6.
