Men DII College News
Lindenwood-Belleville’s run to a national DII 7s title started ignominiously, as the Lunx tried virtually everything they could do to throw away the opener against UMass-Lowell.
In fact, they even tried throwing it away, opting to toss the ball into touch to end the game - you are not allowed to do that - leading to a penalty that led to Lowell’s game-tying try.
Four teams are left in the hunt of the Men’s DII College 7s Championships, as the pool play and the quarterfinals are done.
In the quarterfinals, Minnesota-Duluth had their hands full against Texas San Antonio, and were just an unconverted try ahead late in the game at 10-5, before a final Fighting Penguins try put them up 15-5.
It was a competitive and up-and-down pool play for the Men’s DII competition at the USA Rugby Collegiate 7s National Championships, with three ties, and only one pool where the standard split of results happened.
Well this is a very good, and very deep, Men's DII College 7s Championships field.
Sixteen teams are in action, adding to the 24 in the Men's DI, it makes 40 teams in men's rugby alone. Not bad. Here is how we see the pools.
The final tournament in a series of college 7s events in the Upper Midwest will decide which team from that region qualifies for the USA Rugby College 7s Championships in the DII bracket.
