More Men's D1 Gamebreakers this week as we look at the players who stood out for scoring, for leading, or for just working hard.

Greg Steffens, St. Bonaventure

Steffens set the physical tone in a key Rugby East win over Kutztown.

The CSU lock scored two tries and was a constant threat to break the gainline as the Rams defeated Colorado.Ben Haugh, Navy

Three tries from Haugh and plenty of go-forward sparked Navy to a win over Indiana.

Hilton Olivier, Queens U. Charlotte

With 13 points in goalkicking and four tries, Olivier dominated the scorehseet in their win over Belmont Abbey.

Jack Phillips, Kentucky

With his controlled and intelligent kicking for space as well as his kicks for goal, Phillips was hugely influential as Kentucky defeated Clemson.

Luke Mathis, Tennessee

The Vols’ skipper scored three tries to lead his side in a close win over South Carolina.

Charlie Esson, Wisconsin

During an impressive 34-22 victory for the Badgers over Iowa State.

Matt Schmitz, Fairfield

A non-stop performance in which he was crucial in the scrums, contested lineouts, and battled through all the nitty gritty, Schmitz has also become a vocal leader keeping things positive even when the game gets rough. He did all of that in a chippy and tough win over Nazareth.

Ryan Cammarata, Louisville

The Cardinals scrumhalf ran the show and was a vocal leader as Louisville defeated Cincinnati.

Zivan Mynhardt, Marian

Mynhardt scored two tries and assisted on three others as Marian held off Notre Dame Friday Night. 

Hayden McKay, Mount St. Mary’s

McKay’s performance for the USA U20s over the summer was highlighted by his physical play and his hard work, and that’s exactly what he brought to the Mount’s victory over Southern Virginia. It was his work rate and tackling that impressed, and the three tries were just icing on the cake.

Alejo Pisoni, Boston College
