GRR: Grand Valley State
As Grand Valley State marches through one of the team’s better seasons, it’s pretty clear they have a pretty special group of players.
And while Calvin Schwandt and Reinhardt Stipp provide a very smart halfback combo, the heart and soul of the team is their forwards and, more specifically, their back row.
Grand Valley State had opened their season in impressive fashion.
Having beaten Great Midwest team Loyola in emphatic fashion the Lakers followed that with two wins this weekend. GVSU beat Notre Dame's 2nds in a close one, and then won their conference game over Calvin College 70-7.
"We got a good team effort in both games," said Head Coach John Mullett.
Grand Valley State University won a key game in the Great Lakes Conference, taking down rivals Central Michigan 30-5.
Injuries have hit CMU a little bit but the side they fielded was a hard-nosed one that didn't back down.
We are enjoying seeing a few upstart Men's D2 College teams this season which is gratifying to us at Goff Rugby Report World Headquarters because it gives us something to talk about on the daily 90-minute bullet train ride from home to HQ.
Shaking up expectations is good for the competition as a whole.
Sometimes the victory happens at kickoff.
After a series of forfeits Grand Valley State's young, inexperienced team finally got on the field and took on Calvin College.
The game was messy, imprecise, and just plain fun as Grand Valley State won 40-10. Head Coach John Mullett was just happy to play.
