College Women
It appears that Mel Denham is working her magic, again. The new head coach took Central Washington to Pullman, Wash., this weekend for the Wildcats’ first run-out of the season. Although a pre-season friendly, CWU impressed in its 41-8 win over Washington State, the region’s top DI team.
Down 17-8 at the half, American International College’s forwards surged in the second half, dotting down four tries to overtake Army 32-29. The teams were both looking for their first win within the Northeast's DI Western Division.
No movement in the top five of the Women’s DI College Rankings, but plenty through the meat of the lineup.
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.
