Bryant, Coast Guard, and Niagara all lost games and were dropped from the rankings. However, keep an eye out for all.
DIA Rankings Week 2
USA Rugby has released its latest DIA Top 20, which is voted on by various officials and members of the press, including Goff Rugby Report's Alex Goff.
There's not much movement, although Kutztown moves past Lindenwood, and Davenport drops down a couple of spots. The only new team in the list is Arizona, which comes in at #18.
Salisbury Battles Through
Salisbury University’s 29-17 defeat of UMBC was not what you’d expect.
The Sharks won one of the two national championships held last year, and are always near the top of the DII College heap. A winning margin of 12 points seems a bit small.
CRC, Varsity Cup Land Sponsor
HORSHAM, Pa. - The CRC Invitational 7s and the Varsity Cup have signed on Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company as the name sponsor for those two privately-run rugby tournaments. What this means is that the signing of the Philadelphia-based Penn Mutual will keep the CRC in Philadelphia for the near future.
Aircraft Charter Solutions PoW - Michael Marro
Iona College put Michael Marro on the wing last weekend and gave him one job - shadow St. Bonaventure’s towering Greg Johnson.
Now, that’s a big job for a freshman in any situation - worry about one of the other team’s weapons and make sure he doesn’t hurt you - but consider also that Johnson is 6-5 and 210 pounds, while Marro is 5-10 (most of that hair) and 165 pounds.
