GRR: Varsity Cup
Here are the men's college rugby games this weekend.
Check back for scores:
Salt Lake City, Utah - The University of Utah has announced it is pulling out of the Varsity Cup.
The team's statement, signed by the coaching staff said: "After a careful and thorough evaluation, the University of Utah Men’s Rugby Club has determined that participation in the Varsity Cup postseason tournament is no longer a viable option for the program."
Playoffs, pride, and maybe the rankings are at stake this week in Men's DI action.
Grand Canyon and University of Notre Dame could break into the Goff Rugby Report rankings with good performances this week. It seems like it's been forever since GCU actually played a rugby game. It's not quite that way, but it seems as such.
Not many changes this week in the Goff Rugby Report All-DI rankings.
We've dropped off the last five teams, and got back to a Top 50 after those teams either lost, or related teams made us more comfortable in leaving them out.
Some very small changes, but not a lot.
Th US Naval Academy put in one of their best defensive efforts Saturday and seem to have turned the corner as they shut out Dartmouth 29-0.
After giving up 151 points in three straight games either side of the Winter Break, Navy held Clemson to ten points on February 19 and now have a shutout to point to.
