GRR: College Men
Rugby East teams had a solid weekend playing against teams outside their conference.
Yes Navy and Army both lost to Trinity, the rugby team for Dublin University, but the scorelines, competitive at 36-14 and 38-7.
Penn State put Clemson to the sword 51-12 Saturday.
For the Nittany Lions this was a nice step forward for a squad that is hoping to find improvement.
Head Coach Justin Hundley (who was coaching against his former clubmate Troy Hall), was most pleased with the team unity.
Davenport upended Iowa Centra CC 36-10 in a very useful preseason game for both teams.
For the Panthers, it was a pretty good showing considering they have been back on campus for just over a week. Head Coach Dustin Steedman said he was proud of his players for working hard against a very tenacious Triton side.
While Dartmouth is shooting to get back to the top of the Ivies, Harvard met them in the first game of a new regime.
Over 30 games involve Men's D2 college with six conferences kicking off.
Northern Iowa is in a four-team warmup tournament with DI teams Oklahoma, Colorado State, and Kansas. So that will be challenging.
