Men's College 7s News
St. Louis University qualified for the USA Rugby National DII College 7s this past weekend, winning the Spring Hill College 7s.
It was an odd situation for SLU as they had initially planned to play in Nash Bash, a 15s tournament, but the team later decided to shoot to qualify for nationals, and so split their squad.
Dartmouth won the Ariel Re Bermuda 7s Saturday, surprising Kutztown in the semifinals and defeating Stony Brook in the final.
Stony Brook also had a good tournament, losing only to Dartmouth (twice - in pool play and in the final).
For Dartmouth, the big result was the semifinal 12-10 victory over Kutztown, a result that not everyone would have predicted.
The Capital Rugby 7s series continues this weekend in Blacksburg, Va.
Last week, Kutztown ran the table with two teams. KU is in Bermuda, but it remains an intriguing group of teams. Virginia Tech heads up Pool B that includes Virginia and the 2nd teams from South Carolina and James Madison (their 1st team is playing at JMU's own Keystone event Saturday).
The Keystone 7s Series kicks off this weekend with eight teams in attendance at James Madison University.
The Ariel Re Bermuda 7s kicks off at the Bermuda National Sports Center this weekend, with 11 US college teams and a Bermuda Collegiates squad in competition.
