Close games and big wins for the past weekend in men's DII college rugby.
Here are our Gamebreakers for the week.
Ian Hibbert, Northern Iowa
In a huge win over Illinois State, Hibbert played wing, made some key attacking runs, and was also strong defensively.
Keegan Bliss, Vermont
The hard-charging UVM center helped lead a solid defensive effort and was at the center of Vermont’s attacking success in a game against UMass-Lowell that went into overtime. This game was officially a tie, but in OT Bliss kicked a long-range penalty to unofficially win the game.
Zack Fultz, USMMA
In a close loss to Marist, Fultz, playing at hooker, was outstanding throughout, making ground, working well in the set piece, and covering a lot of ground of defense.
Charlie Mays, Central Missouri
UCM’s forward pack helped lead them to a huge win over Southern Nazarene and Mays led the charge until he had to leave with an injury. By then he’d done enough to help his team to a victory.
Adam Oukani, UMass Lowell
The River Hawks lock was a physical force and put in a massive shift for UMass Lowell in their officially-tied game with Vermont.
