GRR: No name
Gonzaga HS won the Jesuit Classic hosted at the fields of the Loudoun rugby program at their home fields of Morven Park in Leesburg, Va., holding off a very tough Greenwich HS in the final.
Granite Bay defeated Jesuit HS 29-25 Friday night in a game between the top two teams in Northern California’s Varsity Gold Sacramento conference.
The wind came off Lake Washington with a vengeance Saturday and had its say as Western Washington faced the University of Washington in Seattle in the playoff final of the Northwest Collegiate Conference.
What the wind said to the Huskies was, “you didn’t do quite enough.”
It’s going to be an all-Florida showdown in the South DII quarterfinal, as Florida International and South Florida proved their inconsistent matrix season didn’t affect their post-season potential. USF defeated South Carolina 32-22, while FIU bettered Alabama 27-10 in today’s Round of 16 matches.
All of the DI spring quarterfinal match-ups have a bit of drama attached. The Mid-Atlantic and Southwest showdowns are essentially replays of the teams’ respective conference finals. The South pits the traditional powerhouse against the successful upstart. The West is even more dramatic.
