GRR: University of Oregon
The Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference crowns its champion this weekend with Western Washington visiting the University of Oregon Ducks.
The NCRC playoffs are set for February 29 after this past weekend's results, and the key mover is the University of Oregon.
After losing to Western Washington in the fall, the Ducks were chasing the Vikings for 1st in the NCRC Pool A. But Western's early-season loss to Oregon State left the door open for Oregon to get 1st, and therefore a home game in the semis.
It was a somewhat quiet weekend in DIAA, but these players made some noise.
Maaveave Petaia, University of WashingtonFormer center and now flanker Petaia scored two tries in a huge win over Oregon State.
Boise State pulled off a bit of a surprise result in the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference, beating Oregon 53-28.
Led by a superb defensive effort from No. 8 Joe Green, Boise State put in one of its more complete efforts.
BSU started six freshmen and three sophomores.
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.
