GRR: College Men
Going into this weekend’s Varsity Cup 1st round game against Air Force, the University of Utah team had to be wondering if they had bitten off more than they could chew.
In the last four weeks they’ve played St. Mary’s, UCLA, Army, Cal, and BYU, all competitive or achingly close losses, and then this week the Utes were under pressure from another opponent, the flu.
We are now very close to knowing all 15 of the teams in the DIAA playoffs. Here's what we know at present:
The University of Washington unseated Western Washington 18-13 Saturday in front of a large crowd in Bellingham to win the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference championship and book a spot in the DIAA national playoffs.
Here’s a quick rundown of the Varsity Cup games this weekend.
BYU smacked Arizona State 113-8 Saturday night to finish off the day's VC games.
Dartmouth College shocked pretty much everyone Saturday in beating Penn State in the opening round of the Varsity Cup.
“Nobody thought we would win,” said Dartmouth Head Coach Gavin Hickie, without a shade a bitterness. “Nobody, that is, except us.”
