GRR: Bowling Green
Notre Dame College has booked a place in the 2016-17 national DIAA final with a nicely balanced defeat of Bowling Green State University Sunday morning.
The game, held at Furman University in Greenville, NC, was the USA Rugby Fall DIAA final, and the winner is slated to meet the Spring, 2017 DIAA winner in May.
Bowling Green State University has been at the forefront of Men’s DI College Rugby for many years.
Under the guidance of Roger, and then Tony Mazzarella, the Falcons have dominated the MAC and much of the Midwest for years. But they have never made a national final … until now.
Bowling Green and Notre Dame College will face off for the DIAA championship at Furman University the weekend of December 3 as both teams won very close semis Sunday.
Four teams are left in the Men's DIAA College playoffs after Saturday's results; here's a rundown:
Eastern Kentucky University hosts half of the DIAA playoff bracket, and a very, very difficult half it is.
Bowling Green plays Mount Saint Mary’s, while James Madison plays Lindenwood-Belleville in what most would say is the tougher, one through four, half of the eight-team fall playoffs.
