GRR: Bowling Green
Bowling Green, Ohio, and Louisville all emerged victorious in the opening weekend of action in the Mid American Conference.
Ohio beat Dayton 41-12, while Louisville won big over Pitt 65-5.
Bowling Green also won fairly convincingly 38-5, although Cincinnati put together some solid periods of play and perhaps were a little unlucky not to score more.
Bowling Green defeated Louisville in this weekend's clash of the top teams in the Mid-American Conference.
The Falcons led comfortably through much of the game, holding a 28-5 advantage until late in the game. Co-captain and No. 8 Phil Tracey scored three tries on the day, while Griffin Wilson added another and Joey Apel converted all four.
University of Notre Dame defeated Bowling Green 29-7.
This game was played as the Parseghian Cup match Friday night at Notre Dame raising money for the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Fund.
Bowling Green took a big step in the Mid-American Conference with a 27-15 defeat over Western Michigan Saturday.
Both teams are relatively young, but it seems as if WMU is a little bit less experienced, and it certainly seemed apparent that if the Broncos would have been a bit tidier in their connections, they would have caused the Falcons some more problems.
Bowling Green State University and the BGSU Rugby Football Club will hold a field renaming ceremony at College Park Rugby Field in Bowling Green at 10AM on May 6, renaming the field after longtime Bowling Green Rugby patriarch Roger Mazzarella.
