Men DII College News
Men's college 7s teams from in and around Louisiana will converge on New Orleans this weekend for the New Orleans 7s.
Furman University logged a notable result Saturday in a non-conference game, as the DII program tied top DI team Indiana 41-41.
The game was a scrimmage and both teams subbed liberally, but this same meeting two years ago resulted in an 88-5 result for IU. So the improvement, following on a Furman victory over a University of South Carolina squad, is noticeable.
The Citadel opened up the spring half of the rugby year by hosting DIAA Ohio University on a warm and sunny pitch on the Citadel Campus.
Senior Captian Alex McDonald led the Bulldogs in the last 15s match of the season, opening the scoring on a 50-meter break, scoring again off a loose ball from a ruck midway in the first half, and then again in the second half from 15 meters out.
