Cedar Rapids Headhunters rugby team makes national semifinals

The Cedar Rapids-based Headhunters rugby team will play in the semifinals of the Division III National Championship tournament next month, after emerging from the first two rounds of the tournament this past weekend.

Here's a paragraph from the Headhunters' Website about their accomplishments.

The Cedar Rapids Headhunters travelled to Columbia, South Carolina the weekend of May 22 & 23, for the first two rounds of the 2010 Division III National Championship Tournament.  On Saturday the Headhunters beat Triad out of Greensboro, North Carolina 40-0 in the first round.  On Sunday in the quarterfinals the Headhunters beat Old Gaelic of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 23-13.  The Headhunters now have two weeks to gear up for the semi-finals June 5-6 in Glendale, Colorado where they will face the St. Louis Royals RFC.  The other semi-final will feature OMBAC-RFC of San Diego, California vs. VRFC of Charlottesville, Virginia.
