GRR: Oregon State University
The idea that college rugby conferences should follow college sports conferences in other sports isn't new, nor should it be followed universally, but it does have merit in specific areas.
Western Washington moved to 3-0 in the NCRC with a 39-0 shutout of previously unbeaten Oregon.
Shutouts and road wins are rarities in this conference, and WWU logged both on this trip to Eugene, backing it up with a 2nd side win 46-7.
It might have just been a friendly match, but last week's 46-0 loss to Oregon State gave Western Washington's women's team some much-needed insights into the holes in their gameplay, and those are lessons they want to take into this weekend's clash with Western Oregon.
Another gruesome civil war commenced last Saturday, resulting in a 25-24 Oregon State University win over the University of Oregon after a game-winning kick through the uprights hooked just outside the posts.
The University of Washington won a non-conference game against Oregon State Saturday, with the Huskies taking down the Beavers 28-17 in Corvallis, Ore.
