Bowl Series Set for Iona
The Rugby Bowl Series schedule has been set, with 12 college rugby teams facing off this coming weekend at Iona College.
Rutgers, St. Joe's to Keystone Final.
It's Rutgers v St. Joe's for the Keystone Conference title as both teams won games Saturday.
Both teams had to work for it in today's semifinals. St. Joe's beat West Chester 44-22, but West Chester led early and it was 17-15 well into the game. But tries from Ryan Stickno and Greg McTiernan put the Hawks ahead by 14, and Noah Niumataiwalu and Jimmy Wolfer closed it out.
Temple Upset Highlights Keystone QFs
Of the three Keystone Conference playoff games played Saturday, certainly the Temple v Pitt matchup was the most intriguing.
While Rutgers thrashed Lock Haven 96-0, and West Chester took care of Millersville 68-13, the #3-seed Temple upset #2-seed Pitt 38-31.
Keystone Conference Fall 2016
The Keystone Rugby Confefence will kick off in late September in a mad rush of a season that involves eight teams.
With James Madison having moved on to the Chesapeake Conference, and Shippensburg men's rugby on suspension, the conference is back to eight teams in two divisions.
Temple Wins Keystone, Eager to Prove Worth
The Temple University rugby team might well be forgiven for having a chip on their shoulder.
After all, the Owls have endured several years of criticism for, of all things, showing up.
