GRR: Villanova
Bloomsburg laid down a bit of a marker this weekend, beating rivals Bucknell to perhaps stake their claim as one of the top Men’s DII college teams in the MARC.
Bloomsburg took the game 26-17 in a game that was a battle through all 80 minutes.
A very young St. Joseph's University squad defeated Villanova in a warmup game over the weekend.
The game was a series of three 30-minute periods and SJU ended up ahead 40-12 after all was said and done.
Villanova moved to 3-0 in the Mid-Atlantic D2 East league after a 32-12 victory over Drexel.
The game was played in the middle of Villanova's fall break and the Wildcats were without five first-side players, including three inside backs. But they fronted up well enough.
The Mid-Atlantic Men's DII College playoffs started last week, but they didn't actually happen.
Villanova beat York 40-21, while Lehigh beat Shippensburg 23-3.
