GRR: College Men
It’s all finalized in the Mid-American Conference as the playoff matchup are set.
In the North, Bowling Green hammered Ball State 74-7 to finish 3-1; the Falcons already had secured 2nd in the North behind Western Michigan, so that doesn’t change. Central Michigan doubled up Kent State to finished 2-2.
The University of Oklahoma defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 22-19 Saturday in a non-conference clash.
It was an important result for both teams. For Oklahoma, it was another step toward getting this team back in top form after a difficult 2014-15, and doing so against a tough opponent. For Kansas, it was yet another indication that the Jayhawks are here to play.
The WIIL Conference is down to four as the quarterfinals wrapped up Saturday.
Wisconsin-Whitewater, ranked #2 by Goff Rugby Report, won comfortably, as expected, over DePaul 46-5 to book a spot in the semis. In a much closer game, Northern Michigan, ranked #13, needed overtime to get by #29 Illinois State.
Nothing has been decided in the New England CRC, as the top three teams are still locked in a very tight struggle.
The University of Tennessee scored with three minutes to go to overcome slight favorites South Carolina to clinch the SCRC East.
In a typical tight game between two longtime rivals, Tennessee took an early lead with a penalty kick from Andrew Sayers. South Carolina replies, taking the lead with a try from James Whipper, and Brian Keown’s conversion made it 7-3.
