GRR: ARC
It was a bizarre Friday night in the ARC as both games on the conference slate ended up tied.
Queens and Wheeling played to a 36-36 tie. Flyhalf and Iowa Central transfer Taku Misingqini slotted a long-range penalty with no time left to secure the deadlock fo the Cardinals.
Those of you who follow Goff Rugby Report know that we love close games, and we love a conference with frequent close games.
St. Bonaventure pulled out a tough win over Queens in Charlotte, NC Saturday, scoring on the final play of the game to come back to win in this ARC conference match in NCR's D1.
Queens got an early try when captain and tighthead prop Roan Shawver ran hard onto a tips pass and was through for a long gallop.
The newly-minted ARC conference kicked off this weekend with St. Bonaventure and Wheeling logging impressive wins.
This conference was created by five NCR teams that used to be in the Rugby East, plus Wheeling out of Big Rivers. This conference will (as we understand) get five playoff spots into NCR's D1 postseason, so it is expected to be competitive.
University of San Diego took one more step toward the CRAA D1AA semifinals with an impressive victory over American River College.
