GRR: College Men
Bowling Green, Ohio, and Louisville all emerged victorious in the opening weekend of action in the Mid American Conference.
Ohio beat Dayton 41-12, while Louisville won big over Pitt 65-5.
Bowling Green also won fairly convincingly 38-5, although Cincinnati put together some solid periods of play and perhaps were a little unlucky not to score more.
In a remarkable display in their first ever rugby game, Walsh University secured a resounding victory over Thomas More, winning the preseason match 62-10.
The Heart of America Conference kicks off with Iowa State at Iowa on Friday, but there’s plenty more to come.
It is a big weekend in what is mostly the preseason in Men's D1A, NCR D1, and D1AA rugby.
Everyone is still testing each other out ... although we do have the Heart of America coming into the regular season (we'll take a closer look at them in an upcoming article).
The Liberty Conference and the Mid-American also gets going.
Iowa Central CC’s second-half surge to defeat Iowa State this past weekend was certainly a team effort, but it’s hard to ignore the contributions of one player.
Takudzwa Musingwini scored three tries against one of the top D1AA teams in the nation, slicing up the Cyclone defense and maybe at times putting fans in mind of a slightly more famous Takudzwa who suited up for the USA.
