Grand Valley Wins Great Lakes Showdown
Grand Valley State University took control of the Great Lakes Conference with a 25-12 defeat of Oakland University Saturday.
This was a meeting of two 4-0 teams, both of which had dominated the rest of the competition. GVSU came in the defending conference champs, but it looked like they might lose that title when Oakland ran out to a 12-5 lead.
Whitewater, ISU to Top of WIIL
Wisconsin-Whitewater defeated previously 4-1 Northern Michigan Saturday, running out to a 49-0 halftime lead and cruised to 56-24 win to finish 6-0 in the WIIL North.
Men DII College Games Oct. 22-23
It's a big weekend for several DII college conferences, as we find out who is the best among some leading or undefeated teams.
Among the most intriguing might be Illinois State against Northern Iowa. Both teams are unbeaten in the WIIL South, but ISU has not even allowed a point.
Great Lakes Down to This Weekend
The Great Lakes Men’s DII Conference has come down to this weekend, as Grand Valley State takes on Oakland University.
GVSU is normally the favored team in this conference, and in fact did very well last year, winning the Great Lakes, beating Northern Iowa in the first round of the playoffs, and losing to eventual national champs Minnesota-Duluth 24-3 - a very creditable scoreline.
