GRR: College Men
There are now only two undefeated teams left in the SCRC DIAA conference.
Tennessee beat Alabama 34-7 to move to 3-0, while Kentucky beat South Carolina 39-24.
For Kentucky, this was a sure sign they have improved since their preseason loss to Thomas More back in September.
Navy defeated Notre Dame College 36-21 Saturday at NDC, moving to 5-0 in the Rugby East and putting the Midshipmen in position to win the conference.
“We came here a few yers ago and scraped by; It’s one of the hardest places to come and play,” said Navy Head Coach Gavin Hickie.
Thomas More moved to 4-0 in the Big Rivers with a key victory over Adrian 29-17 Friday night.
Paced by 14 points from center Rafael O’Gorman, Thomas More benefited from two tries against the run of play and a strong physical effort from No. 7 Tomas Casares and prop Hudson Montgomery tp win.
When IUP lost their most celebrated player and their captain to injury a few weeks ago, the team was shaken up, and while they won that game, rebounding from the loss of RJ Beach had to be a key part of the rest of their season.
Enter Brian Arnold, who stepped in as the captain, and now our GRR Men's D2 Player of the Week.
This is a very exciting weekend in men's D1A/D1/D1AA college rugby.
We already took a closer look at the fact that two games in the SCRC feature 2-0 teams.
