Men DII College News
USA Rugby has released its college rugby playoff dates for the 2016-17 season.
Playoff locations have not been confirmed, but last fall the Men's DII final and Women's DI and DII fall finals were held at Furman University, and indications are that the Greenville, SC college would be a good place to hold it again.
USA Rugby has released its list of Men's and Women's College academic honor roll.
These are active rugby players who have achieved a high grade point average in the past academic year. The list includes 254 student-athletes.
The ongoing story of the year in Men’s college rugby was obvious to me before I had my conversation with Wayne Milner, but that conversation certainly confirmed it.
Milner is the senior VP at the Washington Athletic Club in Seattle, and we met last fall to initiate talks that led to the formation of the Rudy Scholz and MA Sorensen awards.
The USA Rugby Men’s Collegiate All Americans will likely be named Thursday or possibly Friday - at least part of the list, anyway.
The University of Minnesota-Duluth Fighting Penguins are now double champions, as they took the national DII 7s championships on Sunday.
