GRR: ACRC
A couple more games remain in the Ivy League but it’s essentially over as Dartmouth is again the class of the competition.
The ACRC Coaches Poll is out and not surprisingly, Army moves to #1 after tey toppled previous #1 Kutztown.
AIC continues to show great strides and not only does their win over Middlebury push them to #3 over Penn State (winners of Wheeling Jesuit), but drops Middlebury out of the Top 20.
The new Rugby Athletic Center in Charlotte, NC will host a day of rugby on November 8.
AIC clinched 1st in the ECRC conference with an impressive 45-20 victory over Middlebury Saturday, finishing a 6-0 campaign.
In a game where Middlebury had a shot at taking 1st, the teams were in a tight contest in the first half, with the teams changing ends 17-10 AIC.
It was 20-13 early in the second half before AIC started to pull away.
Games ran to form this week at the Keystone Conference playoffs as both Western Virginia (66-0) and St. Joseph’s (42-7) won big.
West Virginia got their say last week (see the article here), while the Hawks look ahead now to their rivals in yet another big game.
