GRR: Delaware
Rutgers upended Delaware Friday night in a non-conference clash for both teams.
The result, a 15-12 victory for Rutgers, was perhaps a little bit of a surprise, and either a wakeup call for the Blue Hens, a signal that Rutgers is one the rise, or perhaps both.
Earlier than expected, the Mid-Atlantic (MARC) final four has been confirmed. Kutztown will play East Stroudsburg, and Bloomsburg will play Delaware in the semifinals. MARC will receive three representatives at the national fall Round of 32 (Nov. 14-15).
There is new reason for the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference (MARC) to get excited about playoffs. The previous two years, the MARC championship coincided with the national fall Round of 32, so the conference received two seeds directly to the Round of 16.
