Iowa State won the NCR Qualifier 7s tournament in Oklahoma City, Okla., beating Iowa Central CC in the final.
In what was perhaps a bit of a shocker, certainly it was a surprise at GRR, Saint Mary’s defeated Cal 35-26 in the second D1A semifinal of the weekend to book a place in next week’s championship match in Houston.
Army West Point will play in the D1A Final April 30 in Houston after the Black Knights held off a determined charge from Lindenwood to win Friday night's D1A semifinal at the US Military Academy.
Army led by as much as 16, 19-3, but two second-half Lindenwood tries put the Lions within a score at 19-14.
The D1A playoffs are down to semifinals, with a chance for someone in the East to make their first-ever D1A final.
Lindenwood at Army Friday, April 22, 7PM ET

The R7CC 7s in Atlanta, May 14-15 is talking a lot about improving the athlete experience, and much of that has to do with some fairly basic, but important details.
Those details are things like: How do we get around? Where do we train? What medical care is there?
None of this is particular sexy, but it's enormously important to the players and teams.
