College Men
The 2024-25 college season finally officially ends, barring select side action, this coming weekend at the Westwick Rugby Complex in Lawrence, Kansas.
The CRAA Men's D1AA 7s will see 12 teams face off in the Sunflower State.
So we finally finish up our D1A rankings.
We don't have a lot of changes—an obvious one at the top, but not much more.
Not that we didn't think about it. There's just so much parity in the division right now that you could argue a ranking of almost any combination. Navy beat Cal, remember.
The winner of Rudy Scholz Award, given each year to the top men's college rugby player in the country, has been decided and it's Oscar Treacy from Central Washington University.
Xavier University based in Cincinnati, Ohio is searching for a new Head Coach of their men's rugby program.
With the stepping down of nine-year Head Coach Quinn Dutton, the Musketeers is looking for a coach for their robust D3 program.
Xavier has already invested in a Premium Membership in Next Phase Rugby, and that has helped them build their roster to 34 players.
This entire winter and spring we ranked St. Thomas at #2 and San Diego at #1, until this final week.
We almost had that ranking this week, too, save for an astonishing final play of the CRAA D1AA final. So we move St. Thomas to #1 and San Diego to #2.
