GRR: Notre Dame College
The quarterfinals for the Men's College 7s bracket at the Las Vegas Invitational, and we know the four teams who will compete in the semis Saturday, looking for a chance to play in the main stadium later that day.
In a game that had a little bit of everything, Notre Dame College held off a determined Syracuse team 33-28 Friday night at the ACRC Bowl Series in Charlotte, NC.
The US Naval Academy capped off a 5-0 fall with a 37-17 defeat of Notre Dame College Saturday.
Navy and the Falcons were tied 17-17 just after halftime, but then Navy broke away in the second half.
Notre Dame College will face off with St. Bonaventure this weekend, while Davenport University takes a weekend off before a big fall finale.
Davenport is the top-ranked team in Division II, and sometimes that spot can be a lonely place in terms of competition. But Davenport and Notre Dame College, now a DI varsity program, have shared a healthy rivalry that has helped both teams stay sharp over the years. On Saturday, however, the Panthers showed that their claws are a little sharper and banked a 26-12 win over the Falcons.
