GRR: WIIL
The WIIL Men’s DII college conference gets back on the field this weekend with six games involving five teams ranked in the Goff Rugby Report top 45.
National #2 UW-Whitewater hosts UW-Stout in a game that, a year ago, would have been a division decider. But Stout is struggling this year, and it’s some newcomers and some upstarts who are hoping to chase the Warhawks.
In a clash of two highly-ranked teams, #2 Wisconsin-Whitewater defeated #4 Wisconsin-Lacrosse 36-15.
Lacrosse came out firing and in fact led 8-0 early on. But Whitewater rebounded with two tries to tai the lead.
It was all about the new and the old Saturday in the Wisconsin-Illinois-Iowa League (WIIL) men’s DII college conference as defending champs the UW-Whitewater Warhawks, and newcomers Lindenwood-Belleville Lynx both won.
The new-look WIIL Men’s DII conference gets underway this weekend with 2014 national finalists the UW-Whitewater Warhawks heading up a strong lineup of teams.
