GRR: NCR D1
Big doings in the Liberty Conference as league-leaders Fairfield were upended by Iona in the NCR D1 conference.
The 24-16 victory put Iona at 1-0 and dropped Fairfield to 3-1 and opened things up in the conference.
Friday saw three major men's D1 college games go on, with one lopsided result, one going kind of as expected, and one very dramatic ending.
Navy vs QueensIn a game moved to Friday because of Tropical Storm Ophelia, Queens Head Coach Frank McKinney said before kickoff that "defense, defense, defense" was the key to the game.
OK we're getting serious now.
Eleven D1A, NCR D1, and D1AA conferences are in action this week (twelve if you count independent teams as playing conference games, which we probably should) involving 82 teams.
There were a variety of cross-divisional games in men's college rugby this weekend, providing coaches with a different measuring stick than just their annual opposition.
Rugby East is a very tough conference and it seems like every week there's going to be a big game in that conference.
Probably the most interesting matchup this week is Kutztown at St. Bonaventure. While Kutztown has already played a game this season, Bonnies goes right into conference play with only an alumni scrimmage under its belt.
