College Women
USA Rugby and the New England Free Jacks are holding a women's U23 tournament icing off tomorrow, Friday, in Quincy, Mass.
This is a buildup toward, hopefully, the selection of a USA U23 team, but is notable for a few other reasons, too.
Our last episode of RuggaMatrix America saw Alex Goff speak with Jeremy Ognall about the rift between CRAA and NCR, and what he sees as issues—issues he has been dealing with as an intermediary.
See that episode here:
National Collegiate Rugby is making a series of strategic staff realignments and role expansions.
NCR will double its full-time staff from four to seven, and will also create some part-time roles while also eliminating some other positions.
After going 3-0 on Day One of the Algarve 7s, the NCR Griffins select team ran the table to win the Open Division at the Portuguese tournament.
The Griffins beat GD Dirieto in the quarters 17-10, CR Évora 33-12 in the semis, and, in the final, shut out Clonasti Scombinati 28-0.
Freda Tafuna and Oscar Treacy officially received their Washington Athletic Club College Player of the Year awards Saturday at a gala event in Seattle.
