GRR: Western Washington
Western Washington will face the University of Washington in the final of the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference after both teams won semifinals this weekend.
Western Washington clinched 1st place in the NCRC, and Boise State did just enough to secure a playoff spot, as WWU defeated BSU 56-24 Saturday in Bellingham, Wash.
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.
Eastern Washington capped off an undefeated run in the Cascade Collegiate Women’s Rugby Conference with a 36-27 defeat of Western Washington Saturday.
The win put EWU at 5-0, and dropped WWU to 3-2 and out of contention for the championship game, which will be between EWU and Western Oregon. Those two teams battled to a 7-0 EWU win last fall, and so the final should be a good one.
