Men's College 7s News
The Citadel won the Southern Conference 7s Championship Sunday, wading through a tough knockout round to do so.
Early on in the season, the Southern Conference Commissioner's Cabinet had predicted an exciting 7s series as several teams had continued to get better. They were right.
Among the college 7s tournament winners this weekend:
Wisconsin defeated Michigan 38-17 to win the Big 10. South Carolina showed off some of their best 7s of the spring and beat Tennessee 21-7 in the final of the SCRC.
Several conferences take one more step to a college 7s national title, or decide who will qualify for the USA Rugby championship tournament in Cary, NC.
The ACRC 7s is set for April 30 and May 1 at the Virginia Beach Sportsplex in Virginia Beach, Va.
Twelve teams are expected to compete in the men’s college 7s tournament, which features some outstanding talent along the East Coast.
Yale invited UMass, Columbia, Siena College, Endicott College, and Northeastern to the Yale 7s Tournament this past weekend in order to gain more experience against non-Ivy League and non-varsity teams. Although Yale did this to develop their young team for their current 7s season, all teams that attended found the tournament to be just as beneficial.
