GRR: UMass
Just as the NCR D1AA playoffs heat up the temperature chills out.
This coming weekend in Reading, Pa. is expected to be cold … very cold … but the four teams remaining in the playoffs will have to shake that off to make the final what everyone hopes will be a warmer final a week later in Houston.
UMass and Boston College will meet up in the final of the Liberty Conference DIAA division after UMass won big and BC won small Saturday.
Who has the best defense in Men’s D1AA rugby this fall?
Could it be MAC leaders Bowling Green, who are allowing a paltry 9.0 points per game? Well, what about the #2 team in that conference, Louisville? They are allowing 7.4 points per game.
Kansas isn’t quite at that level, allowed just over 10 per game.
In a meeting of unbeaten teams in the Liberty DIAA Conference, UMass beat Boston College 20-13 to improve to 6-0 and drop BC to 5-1.
With the victory the Minutemen should be tops in the Liberty East which should set them up for a semifinal against Columbia, while BC will face off with Binghamton.
And we're down to four teams in NCR's D1AA championship after this weekend's quarterfinals.
In most cases the higher-seeded or higher-ranked team won, but not always.
