GRR: Thomas More
Early fall brings some college matchups we wouldn't normally see in conference play and it provides an intriguing glimpse into where those programs are in various pecking orders.
Wheeling University raced past Marian 39-30 to win their Big Rivers Conference semifinal Saturday evening in West Virginia.
Wheeling led almost the entire game, but it wasn't until the late minutes of the game that they had a cushion they could be happy with—Marian kept plugging away and would not be dismissed.
Thomas More put Fairfield to the sword 70-21 to move on to the NCR D1 semifinals Saturday, jumping to the top four a year after winning the D2 playoffs.
Also into the NCR D1 semifinals are Queens University Charlotte, Brown, and defending champions St. Bonaventure.
Thomas More defeated Marian 52-13 in Big Rivers action to remain unbeaten in the conference.
Marian battled in the opening half and it was only 12-6 until late in the first half when Luca Mattassini scored to make it 17-6.
As Thomas More moves into sole possession of first place in the Big Rivers, we take a look at our Player of the Week.
The Saints have their high-flying backs, the guys who can run and kick and score tries from long range, but all of it is on the backs of a strong forward effort. And none is as strong as Hudson Montgomery.
