Men DII College News
Furman University made a splash this weekend, defeating SCRC DI team South Carolina 44-14.
Both SUNY New Paltz and Vassar are 4-0 in the Tri-State Men's DII Conference Central Division, but they've arrived at that lofty spot in fairly different ways.
New Paltz has dominated, scoring close to 50 points a game and giving up less than seven. Vassar, on the other hand, has had to tough out some close ones.
Salve Regina keeps rolling in the Colonial Coast, and they look very good for a repeat as conference champs.
Last week, Salve beat Western New England 58-0 with captain Joe Goff (no relation to the GRR editor) and Nate Misbach scoring almost half the points. Gary Cali, Colin Palmer, Dakota Williams, Kyle O'Connor, and Connor Gembecki also scored in the rout.
Coastal Carolina moved to 3-0 in the Southern Rugby Conference, beating East Carolina 31-18 Saturday.
SUNY Cortland took sole control of first place in the Upstate NY Men's DII College Conference, as they upended the other undefeated team in the league, RIT.
In an intense game where both teams understood what was at stale, the boys from the Rochester Institute of Technology came out strong.
