GRR: University of Washington
The University of Washington Huskies defeated Washington State 29-12 to close out the NCRC regular season.
UW also took bragging rights in the Apple Cup rivalry game. But more important is that Washington now has a home semifinal game against those same WSU Cougars next week.
Tomorrow, University of Washington (North #2), Chico State (West #2), UC Berkeley (West #3), UCSD (South #1), UCLA (South #2), Washington State (North #1), Arizona State (South #3), and UC Davis (West #1) will be competing in the Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference playoffs and a place in the national Women's DI Spring Quarterfinals.
In a weekend of college rivalry games, University of Washington v Washington State is a pretty good one to watch.
The four semifinalists in the NCRC are settled after this weekend’s games, but the final seedings are yet to be decided.
In the game between the top two programs, Western Washington defeated Washington 26-17 to jump into a tie for 1st. Nate Muir led the way for the Vikings up front, powering into rucks and also scoring a key try.
The Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference in DIAA could well decide most of its seeding this weekend.
