Midwest Championships
In winning their 12th Midwest Championship, DSHA high school, the all-girls high school team from Wisconsin, defeated Lakewood, Ohio 36-5 Sunday afternoon.
Interestingly, the Midwest Championship victory ended up being by a wider margin of victory than DSHA's State Championship battle with Kettle Moraine. In advancing to the MW final, DS also defeated an athletic Fox Chapel in the semifinals, something like 30-0 and a really good St Joseph's Academy in the quarterfinals by a similar score.
Kettle Moraine had a fine run as well, winning the third-place game against Fox Chapel 25-0. KM ran into some bad luck, as their captain and #7 went down with a bad ankle injury in the first few minutes of their first match on a very patchy and uneven pitch. Still, KM put in some excellent performances in defeating two different state champions in Traverse City and Fox Chapel. KM's semifinal against Lakewood was a good battle, with Lakewood pulling away late to advance.
In the second division championship, Brookfield and Catholic Memorial High School both put in dominating performances to advance to an all-Wisconsin final. CMHS won 10-0 in an outstanding back-and forth match.
After our field reporters check-in, we hope to post some pictures and official scores.

Updated Midwest Brackets
The Midwest Rugby Union has made some changes to the Championship brackets for this weekend.
DSHA now plays St Joseph's Academy in the quarterfinal opening match, who was moved up from the second division. Tough break for DSHA, as they now face the #11 team in the country. Tough break if you are a #1 seed, and although it may not appear fair at first glance, it is in keeping with the precedent of trying not to put teams from the same state in the same side of the bracket. Althought SJA doesn't have the same championship tradition, being far newer, they do boast some eerie similarities: an all-girls Catholic school, with players only from their one high school. They won their first Ohio State Championship last fall.
The other interesting change is a Lakewood v Armstrong (MN) rematch of last spring's opening match, narrowly won by Lakewood. Armstrong's experience in the Championship Division, their familiarity with Lakewood's style, and the fact they've been dominant this spring could lead up to this being a great match. Lakewood seems to have regained their mojo and prevailed against SJA to claim Ohio's top spot.
This change shifted KM's opener to a face off with Traverse City. The other match is unchanged.
In the second division championship
Brookfield now faces South Bend and Catholic Memorial faces tournament hosts Carmel, Indiana, playing on their home pitch.
