GRR: NCR D1
After something of a line in the sand was officially drawn, all teams in the Big 10 Conference will be members in USA Rugby and pay the CRAA $20-per-play fee.
The Liberty D1 season got going this weekend with four games: Brown vs Siena, Dartmouth vs Syracuse, AIC vs Fairfield, and Iona vs Fordham.
All four games were competitive, or even extremely close.
Iowa Central CC’s second-half surge to defeat Iowa State this past weekend was certainly a team effort, but it’s hard to ignore the contributions of one player.
Takudzwa Musingwini scored three tries against one of the top D1AA teams in the nation, slicing up the Cyclone defense and maybe at times putting fans in mind of a slightly more famous Takudzwa who suited up for the USA.
Many of the major college games this weekend were really scrimmages, but there were some straight results we want to bring you.
Navy beat Mount St. Mary's in a game that was way, way closer than the score makes it appear.
The Liberty Conference D1 schedule kicks off in a week with the first conference games, so this week is a quick runway for everyone.
It's a relatively tight schedule as these teams try to squeeze as many 15s games into the fall as possible. Teams have one week off and other than that go week-to-week to get nine games in before the NCR playoffs kick off.
