GRR: No name
The latest ACRC Coaches Poll is out and there are a few changes.
With Texas A&M not committing to the ACRC post-season because they also play in the DIA Red River, they are not in this poll now. The MAC confirmed this past week their participation in the ACRC model and so their teams are back in the poll.
It was supposed to be the game: USA Rugby’s DII champion vs. a DII ACRA finalist. Last Saturday’s match was a friendly – sure – but neither team viewed it as such.
The University of Rhode Island men’s rugby team remain undefeated in New England Collegiate Rugby Conference play Saturday after a dominant 42-22 victory over University of New Hampshire in at Student Rec Field in Durham, NH.
There were so many big scores between women’s colleges last weekend, but the one that stood out was the one that wasn’t supposed to happen. DII ACRA finalist Notre Dame College walloped USA Rugby DII champion Mary Washington 109-0.
Many questions arose, but both teams’ coaches confirmed the story behind that huge score: Notre Dame College is just that much better this year.
New varsity team Life University banked three wins last weekend, playing Atlanta-area DI and DII teams in a round robin, shortened match format.
First up was Georgia Tech, which provided the toughest competition. Two tries from Deshel Ferguson, and one apiece from N’Keiah Butler and Argentina’s Karen Faget, helped the Running Eagles to a 22-10 win.
