GRR: College Men
The Great Lakes Men’s DII Conference is coming down to one game, this coming weekend. Grand Valley State University finished their regular season 6-0 in the North, while Xavier of Cincinnati finished undefeated also, however they did tie two games, including October 25 against Kent State.
GVSU Head Coach John Mullett sees those tough games for Xavier and sees reason for concern.
BOULDER, Colo. – The USA Rugby Men’s Division II College National Championship is fast approaching as teams have begun to qualify for the Nov. 22-23 Regional Playoffs.
The final weekend of the Upstate New York Collegiate Conference is this coming weekend, but the big questions have already been answered.
York College secured the top spot in the MARC Tier II Men’s DII College league with a 60-10 defeat of Bloomsburg.
The Mean ’n’ Green had already edged East Stroudsburg, their closest competition, 25-24 on Oct. 25. The MARC takes three teams from Tier I and one team from its Tier II into the playoffs, so York’s one-point victory over ESU was a cruel blow to East Stroudsburg.
Furman University won the Southern Rugby Conference championship Sunday, beating UNC-Wilmington 23-17 in the final.
Furman and UNC-W had played once before, with Furman storming back from a 31-0 deficit only to be edged at the end 48-38. But both defenses were a little tighter this time around.
