GRR: Bentley
The Rugby Northeast playoff seeds have changed twice so far in the last couple of days, and could change again.
After Bentley defeated Providence College and Southern Connecticut won over St. Michael's to get all three at 7-1. Rugby Northeast does not use the bonus point system, and so the teams were just flat-out tied at 7-1.
Rugby Northeast’s leading team got a bit of a shakeup as Southern Connecticut defeated Bentley 14-5 Saturday.
The result confirmed what Bentley Coach Brian Pendergast said last week and reiterated after Saturday’s game - “Southern Connecticut is the best team in the league and they proved it again.”
Don't you just love it when it all comes together?

Bentley continues on their winning ways with a 19-12 defeat of Roger Williams in the Rugby Northeast DII conference.
Head Coach Brian Pendergrast lauded his team’s composure and conditioning for holding off the 1-0 RWU squad.
Bentley College goes into Week 2 of Rugby Northeast with a second-straight difficult game, but also with a shot of confidence.
