Still Tight at Top of MARC
Still Tight at Top of MARC
It's still all clogged at the top of the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference with the top four all winning.
The key result was Salisbury beating Rutgers 29-5. Rutgers had come into the game at 2-1 and with aspirations to break into that top four, but the Sharks put paid to that. Led by strong performances from No. 8 Marcus Montgomery, who scored two tries, and center Caleb Riley, who had one, Salisbury retains a thin grasp on 1st.
Why? Because West Chester won as well, beating Temple 41-12. Lock Dominic Caccese was excellent and the player of the game, dominating the point of contact and poaching balls.
Rowan smacked JMU and St. Joe's beat Delaware. So Salisbury, West Chester, and Rowan are all 4-1, with St. Joe's 3-1.
