College Men
Two Rugby East teams will face off in the NCR D1 final December 11 in Houston after Penn State and St. Bonaventure both won semifinals on Saturday.
What is still a relatively inexperienced Auburn Tigers team defeated Montana State 31-12 Saturday to win the CRAA Men's DII title at the CRAA Fall Classic Saturday.
Auburn brought a fast-paced rush defense to the party and it was that approach, coupled with their ability to make that all-important first tackle, that ultimately won the game for the Tigers.
The #1-ranked Tennessee Volunteers defeated the #5-ranked Bowling Green Falcons in the CRAA DIAA championship game Saturday.
While we have some stuff going on on the West Coast, most eyes are further east with the CRAA Fall Classic and some NCR playoff games as well.
University of San Diego plays San Diego State Saturday in the first annual Founders Cup meeting between the two.
The game is played to honor the founders and alumni of both programs. With San Diego State Rugby founded in 1958 and USD Rugby founded in 1980 they have plenty of those alumni. This is a nice challenge trophy to kick-start the season for the teams.
