USA Rugby DI College Championship


Headed back to Steuber Rugby Stadium for the USA Rugby DI College Championship between women's Penn State Nittany Lions and Army Black Knights, and the men's UCSB Gauchos and Davenport Panthers. What incredible games. But even better than the action was the celebration and pure joy afterwards!


First the women's. Unquestionably one of my favorite women's games ever. Constant action, great plays, exciting through the end as Army defeated Penn State 33-29.


And dang, Ann Lee scoring ALL of Army's 33 points. She was incredible! Upon receiving the MVP award she tried to hand it to her teammates as they lifted her up.


Next up was men's, another great competition as Davenport defeated UCSB 38-19.


I wish I could feel this emotion, all day, every day!


Flyhalf J.P. Eloff picked up the MVP award, and didn't just jump for joy, but flipped for joy!!


And I was able to head home JUST before the storm brewing in the background came through =)
