GRR: Central Washington University
More information is coming out about the Central Washington University decision to discontinue rugby (men and women) as varsity sports.
It was a complete surprise to the players and coaches, and as a result, many players are stuck with a big question as to what they do next.
Three days after their rugby teams lost in the playoffs, Central Washington University has decided to discontinue varsity support for its two rugby programs.
Both the Men's and Women's rugby teams were varsity level. Both had enjoyed very good seasons this year. However, the decision had little to do with performance on the field and much, much more to do with financial issues.
Saint Mary’s rode the rollercoaster once more Saturday, before surviving an enormously talented Central Washington team 53-48.
This game was non-stop.
It's semifinal time in Women's D1A Rugby.
Higher seeded teams won through in the Western Bracket of the D1A playoffs, with one exception.
Cal vs Colorado StateA heavy underdog, CSU traveled to Berkeley and the Rams were "buzzing" to play, said Head Coach Joe Rusert-Cuddy before the game. "We had a really good lead-up and I know they are going to give Cal their all."
