Men DII College News
The Coast Guard Academy and University of Hartford remain atop the New England Wide Collegiate Conference after the undefeated CGA team beat the undefeated and defending conference champion Springfield squad, and Hartford also won.
In a game that was at hotly-contested as you might expect, Springfield held off Coast Guard in the first half and led 10-7.
Here are the games in Men's DII College rugby this weekend.
While Wisconsin-Whitewater may still be the favorites in WIIL Conference, there’s a nice battle brewing to see who will face the Warhawks in the final.
Northern Michigan is certainly solid in the North Division with UW-W, but in the South, it’s going to come down to Northern Iowa against Illinois State.
We first mentioned Garrett Shibilski last year, when the Wisconsin-Whitewater hooker showed some impressive open-field skills in the Men's DII College playoffs.
Well, this year, with the Whitewater pack operating nicely, Shibilski has moved to fullback.
"He is turning into a very dynamic runner and one of our best defenders," said coach Matthew Pederson.
Furman and UNC-Wilmington lead the Southern Rugby Conference after both won games against former DI opposition.
