GRR: College Men
After going into the Mid-American Conference as the #3 seed, the Louisville Cardinals defeated seeds #2 and #1 to win the conference playoffs this weekend.
In Saturday's semifinals, WMU ran out to a 30-14 lead with 15 minutes to go. This paralleled what their previous result had been (29-16 WMU) and it seemed clear the Broncos were set for the final.
The Kentucky Wildcats won the SCRC final thanks to a fairly emphatic second half 32-12 over Tennessee Saturday.
We have the final 16 men's D2 college teams now that the play-ins are done.
Here's what happened.
WEST POINT, NY—Sophomore Roanin Krieger made the biggest penalty kick of his collegiate career to claim a 23-21 win for the Navy men’s rugby team over Army Friday night at the Anderson Rugby Complex in West Point.
Lindenwood came back to bet BYU 21-14 in what was a battle of a game in St. Charles, Mo. Friday.
Both teams played very solid rugby, executed well, and were up for it. In the end, Lindenwood’s powerful scrum produced two key scoring chances late in the game to win it.
