GRR: College Men
Navy won the first of the three-game Commander-in-Chief Trophy series with a 50-8 defeat of Air Force.
The Falcons took an 8-3 lead in the 18th minute, but the Mids scored the final 47 points of the game, claiming the Lt. Col. Kevin Shea Memorial Rugby Cup for the sixth straight year.
It's been a busy time for Virginia Tech.
Kentucky staked its claim to being the top side in the SCRC and, perhaps, the whole of D1AA in the fall with a 40-25 defeat of South Carolina.
With that win and Tennessee’s very close 31-29 victory over Alabama the SCrC semifinals are set for two weeks hence.
Bowling Green defeated Louisville in this weekend's clash of the top teams in the Mid-American Conference.
The Falcons led comfortably through much of the game, holding a 28-5 advantage until late in the game. Co-captain and No. 8 Phil Tracey scored three tries on the day, while Griffin Wilson added another and Joey Apel converted all four.
In a meeting of unbeaten teams in the Liberty DIAA Conference, UMass beat Boston College 20-13 to improve to 6-0 and drop BC to 5-1.
With the victory the Minutemen should be tops in the Liberty East which should set them up for a semifinal against Columbia, while BC will face off with Binghamton.
