GRR: Loyola
Not too many surprises in Men's D2 college action this weekend.
Virginia beat Hampden-Sydney 77-15, which was a very different result from the first time these two teams faced off. Two weeks ago these two teams tied, but UVA fielded a less experienced lineup for that game.
Loyola and Northwestern both won in the Great Midwest to move to 4-0.
Loyola won big over Illinois-Chicago, taking the game 62-10.
For Northwestern, they took on University Chicago, a team that lost to Loyola by a single point.
So how would the Wildcats fair?
It was almost as close, with Northwestern edging Chicago 14-12.
Northern Iowa remains the top dog in the Great Midwest after a 38-12 defeat of Marquette Saturday.
While this may seem like a fairly big win for UNI, this was as close a game as Northern Iowa has had this year.
This was a well-played match, fast, disciplined, and entertaining.
In a way, the team that came out of this weekend in Great Midwest rugby action was a team that didn't play.
Loyola of Chicago improved to 2-0 with yet another fairly comfortable win, beating Illinois State 50-15.
