GRR: College Men
Grand Valley State University won a key game in the Great Lakes Conference, taking down rivals Central Michigan 30-5.
Injuries have hit CMU a little bit but the side they fielded was a hard-nosed one that didn't back down.
Bloomsburg laid down a bit of a marker this weekend, beating rivals Bucknell to perhaps stake their claim as one of the top Men’s DII college teams in the MARC.
Bloomsburg took the game 26-17 in a game that was a battle through all 80 minutes.
Life University opened its Rugby East account with a 40-21 victory over Mary Washington Saturday.
This was the first ever Rugby East game for the Running Eagles as they moved into the conference starting this year.
It remains tight in the Big Rivers as we saw three competitive games in this NCR D1 conference.
Marian were pipped 26-21 by Principia to move the Thunder Chickens to 2-0 in the conference and dropping the Knights to 1-1.
Wheeling defeated Thomas More 36-22 to open their conference account.
Top-ranked DII team IUP defeated in-conference rival Miami of Ohio in fairly convincing fashion Friday night, taking the game 54-17.
IUP's vaunted defense was a little humbled early on as some shifty running and quick ball put Miami over for a converted try before seven minutes were up.
