As the D1AA playoffs and conference finals are upon us, here’s a look at standouts from the past couple of weeks.
BC Points-Scorers
Usually we list just one player, maybe two. This time we've got three. Two sophomore wings, Pat McMahon and Alejo Pisoni, scored two tries each in BC's Liberty Conference final win over UMass. Helping the Eagles along was sophomore flyhalf Bobby Voth, who was 5-for-5 on conversions and added two penalty kicks, ensuring BC got full value for every scoring chance.
Desmond Maiava, Western Washington
The Vikings No. 8 was a powerhouse on attacks and on defense as Western defeated Washington and Oregon State.
Luke Keough, Kentucky
The Wildcats center is always physically difficult, especially on defense, and he continues to create or score clutch tries and that's why Kentucky is in the SCRC final.
Hugo Triqueiro, Western Michigan
Triqueiro's brilliant kicking saw the Broncos past Cincinnati and ensured a #2 seed into the MAC playoffs.
Luke Mathis, Tennessee
Forcing turnovers and scoring saw Mathis, playing center, lead the Vols to the SCRC final.
