GRR: No name
North Carolina entered the South DI regional championship well prepared. Solid scouting created a game plan that took the ball out of Life's hands, and the Tar Heels executed well … until the final minute of play. Leaning on its fitness and patience, the Running Eagles scored the game-winning try at the buzzer for a 12-10 win and trip to the spring final four.
Minnesota Youth Rugby’s most favored team, Edina, started off the season as expected, defeating STMA 80-5 Friday as a full slate of games in the state kicked off.
West Chester returns to the DI spring final four, but it was no easy road. UVA wanted that return bid to Pittsburgh, and the fact that the duo played each other two weeks ago meant that both sides had targeted game plans in place. But the Rams were able to enforce their style of play better and won 28-9.
After a long season during which they were strong favorites in their conference the entire time, the Cal State Long Beach 49ers met expectations, and perhaps exceeded them, in beating Santa Barbara City College 47-17 to win the Gold Coast Conference final Sunday.
Herriman HS defeated defending Utah state club champs Kau Toa 57-19 Saturday in a non-conference game.
