DIAA College Rugby News
Fresno State's defeat of Chico State was a bit of a shock and raised plenty of questions in the Pacific Western Conference, but maybe the answer to those questions is simply that Fresno State is a pretty good rugby team.
We had a look at these games earlier in the week.

DIAA Games This Weekend: Early Statement Time
The Florida DIAA conference has the potential to go down to the final weekend, it is that close.
But there are opportunities for one team or another to break away from the pack. This weekend Florida State at Central Florida might be one of those opportunities. FSU is already 2-0 and could be in very good shape. Lose, and Central Florida tightens the pack.
So we're back with the spring-focused conferences and already they've been in action.
Of note, Central Florida lost one game and won another by a single point. That's not a terrible start, but it's not enough to keep them in the Top 20. Other Florida results are enough to bring more Florida teams into the Top 40. We expect at least one team to start to separate and move further up.
Central Florida eked out a tight win over Florida International to get the Knights' first victory of the Florida DIAA league season.
Meanwhile, South Florida, Florida State, and Florida Atlantic all improved to 2-0, as they, along with 1-1 North Florida and Central Florida, look to be the stronger teams in the competition.
