GRR: College Men
Lindenwood shut out Davenport 32-0 Saturday playing in what was essentially a blizzard, handing the Panthers their first conference loss of the season and providing a lesson in off-field preparation for difficult playing conditions.
Thomas More put Fairfield to the sword 70-21 to move on to the NCR D1 semifinals Saturday, jumping to the top four a year after winning the D2 playoffs.
Also into the NCR D1 semifinals are Queens University Charlotte, Brown, and defending champions St. Bonaventure.
As we say at Goff Rugby Report all the time, ranking D2 college rugby teams is difficult because most teams don't play outside their conference until the playoffs start.
And we're down to four teams in NCR's D1AA championship after this weekend's quarterfinals.
In most cases the higher-seeded or higher-ranked team won, but not always.
It's full-on playoff time now.
We have some predictions.
