GRR: SIRC
The South Independent conference (SIRC) was waiting on one game before locking down the DI and DII women’s college title-seekers: Lee University vs. Georgia. The former is the traditional power in the region, making several appearances at DII nationals and sending players into the age grade pools. The latter was a DI team until this season.
Central Florida capped off a seven-game conference winning streak Saturday with a 57-12 defeat of South Florida Saturday, ending their regular seas at 7-1 and in 1st place in the South Independent Rugby Conference South Division.
The way seems pretty clear for Middle Tennessee State and Central Florida to win their respective divisions in the South Independent Rugby Conference after both teams won big this weekend.
South Independent leader Life University had cruised through its first two matrix matches and was looking toward Central Florida, the region’s traditional powerhouse, to provide some resistance in week three. UCF then dropped a 41-17 game to Georgia Tech on Feb. 15, but there was a cushion of forgiveness since that loss occurred on the second day of a double-header weekend.
Life University has recorded another intimidating win in the South Independent DI women’s conference. After opening up its first-ever matrix season with a 90-0 win against Florida State last weekend, the Running Eagles trampled Tennessee 122-0 on Saturday.
