We're capping off September and we're pretty much done with warmups and testing ourselves.
Now we're in the meat of the fall season.
D1A and NCR D1
Life University jumps into the water at Rugby East and faces an improving Mary Washington. Army will want to rebound against a solid NDC side while St. Bonaventure has to take the confidence boost of beating West Point and discard the feeling they have arrived in order to deal with Penn State.

On NCR's Liberty Conference, Fairfield having been beaten by Iona, will look to rebound against a Siena team that's probably not that much different in quality. In the Big Rivers, Marian at Principia has become a key game in that conference as Principia opened their account last week with a win, and Marian has started very well.

D1AA
Keep an eye on Maryland, which has revitalized its program somewhat, luring back University of Maryland students who had opted to play club rugby off-campus. With former Gonzaga/Fort Hunt standout Bau Molinari playing really strong at fullback, captain Ian Stedelmaier a stalwart, and more work being done on the coaching side, they could be a player in the MARC. They traveled to Michigan and won last week. Now conference play starts as the Terps host Temple.
Tennessee at Georgia now carries some significant importance, as does UNC Charlotte at NC State. We talked about the oncoming Yale side; now they have a big statement to make visiting a very strong Boston College.
