GRR: College Men
In a dramatic and somewhat surprising result, a depth-challenged Thomas More defeated Principia in the Big Rivers semifinals Friday night in Chicago.
The Big Rivers semifinal between Wheeling and Iowa Central was expected to be high-scoring and it didn't disappoint, as two committed, fast rugby teams logged 77 points on the evening in Chicago.
Playing at the excellentChicago Lions for Hope field in the Windy City the teams overcame chilly conditions to put on a show.
One of the more intense rivalries in college rugby is back Saturday as Lindenwood faces Arkansas State.
After a year when ASU played as an independent, the Red Wolves and the Lions are back in the same conference as Arkansas State is now part of the two-year-old Midwest Conference. So this is also a conference game.
This weekend the Northern Lights, Gateway, Southern, and NACR decide their conference champs.
Things weren't terrible three weeks into the season for Boston College, but they weren't great.
