And so we’re down to eight teams in DIAA, and it’s time to make some picks.
It's all about playoff time this week.
All of the games we list are between ranked teams. We've got Varsity Cup semis, the DIAA quarters, and the DIA quarters, as well. Note, of course, that Air Force plays Cal Poly in the DIA first round game that was snowed out last week. The quarterfinal against St. Mary's will be played Sunday.
Santa Clara University is hosting the Jesuit Cup 7s tournament this weekend, with six Jesuit colleges from around the USA participating.
