GRR: Notre Dame College
The Notre Dame College Falcons are through to the DIAA Quarterfinals after beating Bowling Green 52-21 in a midweek playoff game.
The game was played midweek to accommodate the fact that NDC played Wheeling Jesuit this past weekend, and Bowling Green has a 7s tournament coming on Saturday.
St. Bonaventure needed overtime to beat a very strong Notre Dame College, but did the job in winning the NDC 7s Saturday.
Both SBU and Notre Dame College dominated their pool games, and were just as impressive in the knockout rounds. NDC beat Miami 50-0 in the semis, while Bona beat Big XII winners West Virginia 31-7.
Two Men’s College 7s tournaments kick off this weekend.
The Capital Series goes into leg #2 after James Madison took the first leg two weeks ago. This series isn’t a qualifier for anything, but organizers would like it to be at some point.
The University of Utah has qualified for the CRC 7s after beating Notre Dame College in a close, and somewhat controversial final in the LVI at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Utah made the final by denying the dangerous AIC team any meaningful possession, and the Utes did the same against a fast and well-structured Notre Dame College team.
The University of Utah pulled off something of an upset, beating AIC in the semifinals of the LVI's CRC Qualifier to make the final in the stadium later today.
The Utes starved AIC of possession brilliantly and won 12-5.
