Men DII College News
Usually when Furman plays UNC-Wilmington it’s a game that means a lot; often it means the Southern Conference championship.
This weekend, things are a little different. With Furman already 2-1, and UNC-W 2-0, it might actually be a game about survival.
While Minnesota-Duluth is the #1-ranked Men’s DII college team, the rest of the Northern Lights Conference is looking for a pathway through the DII playoffs by finishing 2nd.
Salve Regina is ranked #33 in the Goff Rugby Report Men’s DII College Rankings, and faces #37 Endicott this weekend in a game that should as good as clinch the Colonial Coast.
Salve sits 5-0 and having beaten #36 Plymouth State already, can take command of the conference with a win over 3-1 Endicott.
There are few DII college rivalries as intense as Towson v Salisbury.
Both programs have challenged for a national title, although only Salisbury has won any, and the two teams seem to take great relish in bringing everything they can when they face off.
So the WIIL South comes down to Friday night. The Lindenwood-Belleville Lynx, a team with no history until this year, play host to University of Northern Iowa, a team that has been around the DII landscape for a while and boasts among their alumni one of the USA’s greatest players, Paul Emerick.
