Grand Valley State University won a key game in the Great Lakes Conference, taking down rivals Central Michigan 30-5.
Injuries have hit CMU a little bit but the side they fielded was a hard-nosed one that didn't back down.
In a somewhat mistake-riddled game made perhaps more mistake-laden because of the intensity of the contact, GVSU's backline was slowly able to take control as the contest wore on.
The Grand Valley backs showcased some good, accurate passing and the team's depth up front allowed them to create better opportunities for the runners. CMU flanker Tyler Waterstrat was very good and got his side going forward whenever he had the ball. At flyhalf Adam Russell was a menace over the ball and poached several possessions.
