Men DII College News
The last few weeks we've seen several Men's DII players make an extra-big impact.
It's time for out Gamebreakers for DII players in September.
Aubrey Aird, GeorgetownA big attacking No. 8 who can break off huge runs, Aird has kicked off the season well for the Hoyas.
Grand Valley State University won a key game in the Great Lakes Conference, taking down rivals Central Michigan 30-5.
Injuries have hit CMU a little bit but the side they fielded was a hard-nosed one that didn't back down.
Top-ranked DII team IUP defeated in-conference rival Miami of Ohio in fairly convincing fashion Friday night, taking the game 54-17.
IUP's vaunted defense was a little humbled early on as some shifty running and quick ball put Miami over for a converted try before seven minutes were up.
We went into some details on what's up in the NEWCRC, which is, along with the Great Midwest, probably the most robust conference in the category.
Depth and Defense Drives Strong UVM Start
Turning heads this past week in Men's DII college rugby was University of Vermont, which dismissed a very capable UMass Lowell side 38-0.
No one doubts that the New England Wide Collegiate Rugby Conference is a difficult conference, so to win a game by that margin (the two teams tied in their match last year) is definitely worth a closer look.
