MARC Playoff Matchups Set

York College secured the top spot in the MARC Tier II Men’s DII College league with a 60-10 defeat of Bloomsburg.

The Mean ’n’ Green had already edged East Stroudsburg, their closest competition, 25-24 on Oct. 25. The MARC takes three teams from Tier I and one team from its Tier II into the playoffs, so York’s one-point victory over ESU was a cruel blow to East Stroudsburg.

Notre Dame College has all but clinched 1st in the MARC Men’s DII College conference after edging IUP 22-19 Saturday.

MARC Newcomer Beats Reigning Champ

The Mid-Atlantic women’s DII college divisions starkly contrasted with each other. In the Tri-State Division, four of five matches were shutouts, with Kutztown posting the biggest margin in its 145-point win over Rowan. But the Pennsylvania Division was much more nerve-wracking. The three victors outscored opponents 87-65.
