GRR: NCRC
The Boise State Broncos launched themselves squarely into the NCRC playoff conversation with two victories in the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference this weekend.
In a physical clash on Saturday, Boise State held off Gonzaga University 27-14. And then turning around for the Sunday game, Boise State held off a determined Eastern Washington squad 41-36.
In a weird weekend in the Northwest Collegiate Conference, Oregon outlasted Boise States and Gonzaga held off Western Oregon.
In what was a bit of a shock result, Gonzaga University edged Western Washington 22-20 Sunday in Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference action.
WWU Coach Paul Horne said his Vikings were plagued by penalties and turnovers, as well as mistakes that hurt scoring opportunities.
Western Washington moved to 2-0 with a 38-5 defeat of Eastern Washington in Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference action.
While 4-0 Washington plays a non-conference game against the formidable Central Washington team, seven more NCRC teams face off to try to catch the Huskies.
