GRR: College Men
GRR #1 Minnesota-Duluth will take on GRR #2 Wisconsin-Whitewater in the finals of the men’s DII college championships Sunday after both won semifinals on Saturday at Furman University.
Whitewater defeated Towson 53-22 in a game that was much more competitive than the score might suggest, but also a game where Whitewater’s finishing was far superior than Towsons.
CARY, N.C. – WakeMed Soccer Park, in conjunction with Town of Cary and the Triangle Sports Commission, will host the fifth edition of the USA Rugby College 7s National Championships in Men's Division I, Men's Division II, and the Women's Division next Memorial Day weekend, May 28-29, 2016, USA Rugby announced Friday.
There is no team in the Men’s DII College semis that has been better prepared by its own competition than Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Bruised and battered, Towson University comes into the national men’s DII semifinals having escaped the closest of the four quarterfinals.
The Tigers held off Rowan 44-41 in the last round, and the game was every bit as close as the score indicates.
But now facing Wisconsin-Whitewater in this weekend’s semis in Greenville, SC, the Towson coaching staff has changed nothing.
Salisbury University may have lost to Mount St. Mary’s in a non-conference game this year, and may have lost the Capital Conference final to Towson, but they should not be counted out in the national semis.
