Colorado State lost Sunday 14-18 to Louisiana State in the semi-finals or the Western Collegiate Championships failing to qualify for the national sweet sixteen.

 

In the other DI semi-final Air Force beat Wyoming 35-29 in a back and forth battle. In the final Sunday night LSU beat Air Force 51-18. 

 

This was a tough loss for CSU seniors, flanker Nick Anderson, hooker Danny Bolling, 8-man Logan Collins, injured center Aaron Sanchez, injured prop Hillarion Tatad, wing Bjorn Utu and  prop Dan Wonstolen.  The loss was particularly frustrating for the coaching staff and graduating players as this was the 3rd time in 4 years that CSU has qualified for the playoffs but lost in the match to qualify for the national sweet sixteen.

CSU hosts the fun Ruck’n in the Rockies tournament for division II teams and B-sides this Saturday April 11^th to finish off the year.
