GRR: AIC
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.
With AIC's 45-20 defeat of Middlebury, the ECRC conference season is complete. AIC finishes 1st, while Middlebury, which had a shot at 1st, slips to 4th.
Middlebury ended the season 4-2, but so did BC and UMass. Both teams ended the season with big victories, and thus get past the Panthers on points difference.
AIC trailed 31-29 with no time left when they burrowed their way to the Army tryline, and No. 8 Jess Davis scored to win the gam for the Massachusetts school.
American International College put their stamp on the ECRC with a 30-17 defeat of Boston College, the only other undefeated team in the conference.
After weeks of posting impressive scores against fellow ECRC opponents, AIC and Boston College get to meet each other.
And they get to this meeting traveling two different paths.
