GRR: College Men
Grand Canyon and University of Arizona tied 28-28 Saturday evening in a game that did much to help build the rivalry between the two Arizona colleges.
The game was pretty dramatic to start with, but was almost more so as Ethan Van Tonder's 48-meter penalty kick drifted wide as time wound down.
Florida State blooded some newer players and for the second match in a row held a team scoreless in the second half to defeat South Florida 27-19 on Florida DIAA college league play.
Already on tenterhooks for the Florida DIAA slate of games? Us too.
Why? Well there's a good chance that this league will be in doubt for some time, at least judging by the closeness of the first week of games (31-20, 28-20, 27-26). With battles like that this could be the New Chesapeake.
There are some conference games this week in DIA, with the Mid-South getting back in the think of things.
It's tough going in college rugby in the Pacific Northwest, where COVID restrictions have been especially ... restrictive, but one key game is happening as Western Washington hosts Central Washington on Saturday.
