GRR: College Men
Northern Iowa remains the top dog in the Great Midwest after a 38-12 defeat of Marquette Saturday.
While this may seem like a fairly big win for UNI, this was as close a game as Northern Iowa has had this year.
This was a well-played match, fast, disciplined, and entertaining.
Paced by a strong first half University of New Hampshire to move to 3-1 in the NACR Men’s D2 competition.
The Wildcats were paced by some impressive elusive running from Jagger Lovely, who scored three tries and was a constant threat. Wing Rudy Seaborn scored two, one on a spectacular kick-pass that he caught on the full, while No. 8 Quinton Martin was a powerhouse in traffic.
Let's take a quick look at Men's D1 games around the nation.
Rugby EastQueens, Life, Kutztown, and St. Bonaventure all won.
Queens put together a solid showing in defeating a Belmont Abbey that is more difficult to play than their record indicates. For the Royals that puts them at 3-0 in the conference with four tough games to come.
In a battle of two of the top D1AA teams in NCR, Kentucky defeated Tennessee 37-23 in SCRC action.
It was a good showing for Kentucky, a team looking to repeat as NCR D1AA champions.But Head Coach Sam Enari would like to see more.
Keep a close eye on the Heart of America, with two very compelling games this week.
In the Liberty Rhode Island at Yale is perhaps the one with the biggest standings ramifications, while Louisville at Western Michigan is a big one for both in the MAC.
