GRR: Winona
We’re coming down to playoff time in the Northern Lights Men’s DII college conference in Minnesota, and Minnesota-Duluth and Winona State look to be the strongest teams.
The first week of the Northern Lights Men's DII league is in the books and things are already a little shaken up.
Winona State in Minnesota is hosting the Fool's Fest tournament, a four-bracket college 7s tournament, this weekend, with two being national qualifiers.
The tournament will be held in Rochester, Minn.
Winona was ready to get its post-season underway. The Black Katts went through the Northern Lights conference with little resistance, and used that time to get its younger players lots of playing time. Last Saturday, the Minnesota side saw the return of some key players who had been absent due to injury, and they contributed to a 114-5 win over Univ.
Now a tradition, Winona opened up its fall campaign with a ninth-straight All Minnesota Tournament championship. The Black Katts went 4-0 and scored 208 unmatched points.
