GRR: NECRC
Maybe a lithe bit of a surprise team, UMass-Lowell enters the Men’s DII College Round of 16 on a tear.
Rhode Island is in the USA Rugby Men's DII College Round of 16 after beating University of Vermont 15-7 Saturday.
The Coast Guard Academy defeated Boston University 48-10 Saturday to improve to 7-2.
CGA was supposed to play a midweek game against Norwich on Wednesday to finish off the two teams' regular season, however, the NECRC conference was informed by USA Rugby that the #2 seed needed to be confirmed by the end of this weekend.
Nothing has been decided in the New England CRC, as the top three teams are still locked in a very tight struggle.
So this week is the Game of the Year … at least for now … in the NECRC.
This Men’s DII college conference has been one of the most competitive in college rugby, with three teams in a virtual tie for 1st most of the season, and with the other three teams, while not killing it in the win column, competitive every week.
