Grand Valley State racked up another big score, beating Saginaw Valley State 113-7, but the news out of the Great Lakes Conference is Ferris State's defeat of Central Michigan.
CMU has been among the top two in this conference for some years, but Ferris State edged them 34-33 Saturday.
Ferris State has been winning games but it has been difficult to see where they stand because there's a bit of a gap between the conference's top half and the lower half.
This week's win was a marker for FSU.
"Were doing pretty great actually," said player-coach Mitchell Stewart. "We've got 20 rookies and they're learning."
Many of those rookies have not played rugby before, but after a long layoff due to COVID (Michigan was not a state that bounced back quickly) there's a group of college students who missed sporting activities and team activities, and that has bolstered Ferris numbers.
"It's been building the last few years; two years ago we had something like 13 kids by the end of the season," said Stewart. "This yer we have 34, and some great athletes."
