GRR: Big Rivers Conference
Principia is now 3-0 in the Big Rivers after beating Aquinas, and once again we have close and competitive games throughout this league.
It remains tight in the Big Rivers as we saw three competitive games in this NCR D1 conference.
Marian were pipped 26-21 by Principia to move the Thunder Chickens to 2-0 in the conference and dropping the Knights to 1-1.
Wheeling defeated Thomas More 36-22 to open their conference account.
The Big Rivers Conference is decidedly underway with Thomas More, Marian, and, notably, Principia all winning.
Thomas More had started off with a couple of early-season, non-conference losses but won their opening conference game 52-21 over new member Rio Grande. The Saints were able to open up their attack a little bit more in this game.
It was an intriguing weekend in Men's D1 college rugby as we saw quite a few cross-divisional matchups and, perhaps, some harbingers of how things might shake out this season.
Thomas More defeated Marian 52-13 in Big Rivers action to remain unbeaten in the conference.
Marian battled in the opening half and it was only 12-6 until late in the first half when Luca Mattassini scored to make it 17-6.
