Men's DII Semifinal: Furman v Minnesota-Duluth
http://www.therugbychannel.tv/videos/297176/furman-v-um-duluth#!
This is the final Men's DII rankings for the 2016-17 season.
The Norwich University men's rugby team finished off the best season in program history with an impressive 40-17 victory over three-time defending USA Rugby Division II National Champion Minnesota-Duluth on Sunday morning in the third-place match at Furman University.
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater will play in the team’s third-straight national men’s DII college final after the Warhawks rode a torrid second half to defeat Norwich Saturday in the semis.
The teams were almost deadlocked - 24-22 - at halftime. But Whitewater’s backline exploded for six tries in the second half to win going away 58-29.
The agitation and anxiety a coach might feel being in the national semifinals for the first time ever isn’t descending on Bob Weggler.
