GRR: Upstate NY
The two strongest Upstate NY DII college teams are back facing off for the conference title this coming weekend - to no one's surprise.
This past weekend in the semifinals, #2 seed Geneseo shut out Fredonia 51-0, while Oswego handed Buffalo State a 42-5 defeat.
SUNY Cortland can put the stamp on their solid weekend with a win over Niagara this weekend.
Cortland is 6-0 and Niagara, 5-1-1, having played one more game, is the only team in the Upstate NY Men’s DII conference that can catch them in them
Having survived a tough game against the University of Rochester, Canisius College looks to be in good shape in the Upstate NY Small College Western Bracket.
The Golden Griffins edged the Yellowjackets 26-24 in a clash of undefeated teams, and that means Canisius goes into this weekend’s clash against St. John Fisher with a 4-0 conference record.
It was all about tries and bonus points this weekend as the Upstate NY Men’s DII college conference got underway.
The game of the weekend was likely Buffalo State against SUNY Oswego, two teams who were among the contenders last season. A relatively young Buff State team held off Oswego 29-27.
The Upstate NY Men’s DII conference begins action this weekend, with most of the teams having been back in school for about a week.
So it’s a quick turnaround from “this is what a rugby ball looks like” to “let’s play a league game” but that’s what they have to do.
