Men DII College News
Men's D2 college rugby enters a crucial month as teams look to a few weeks where conference championships are largely decided.
UNC Wilmington Has Some Unfinished Business
After their win over Virginia this past weekend UNC-Wilmington is now ranked #1 in the GRR D2 rankings, and it didn’t hurt that they kicked off their season trying to play D1 competition such as UNC Chapel Hill, Wingate, and South Carolina.
Villanova looked impressive in a 58-7 win over UMBC on Saturday in Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference action.
It's an active weekend in D2 but not necessarily one where we see a lot of ranked team-vs-ranked team matchups.
We do see #5 Northern Iowa face off with #21 Marquette in an early litmus test for both. Marquette is pretty sure they have a solid team and club president Dominic Bartolone was pretty direct when asked about team goals.
It's early days in D2 but we're getting a sense of who might be some of the stronger teams.
