GRR: College Men
Here are the latest DII College brackets.
For the most part, the higher-ranked teams held on.
In Pittsburgh, #4 Rowan continued a brilliant run, defeated #17 UMass-Lowell 52-10. Rowan takes on #5 Towson as Towson defeated#21 Coast Guard 36-12.
Well, that could have been very different. Towson University is in the national DII semifinals, after beating Rowan, but it almost frittered away in the final moments, as Rowan scored two late tries to make it 44-41.
After each game of the ACRC Bowl Series in Charlotte, NC (and the one game in New Rochelle, NY), awards were given for co-players of the game (three for each winning team, and two for each losing team).
After Wisconsin-Whitewater thumped Springfield 85-12 in Saturday’s first round of the national playoffs, but it wasn’t anywhere near as easy on the second day.
The Warhawks had to battle past a Rhode Island team that was much more difficult.
“Rhode island was really good and experienced and played well as a team,” said Whitewater Head Coach Matt Pederson.
The Men's DII Collegiate semifinalists are set after Sunday's games.
Minnesota-Duluth capped off a snow-covered weekend with an impressive 46-3 defeat of #9 Lindenwood-Belleville. The #1-ranked Fighting Penguins held their two playoff opponents to just six points, and no tries, and looked every inch a defending national champion.
