Men DII College News
Here's the lineup of conference games for Men's DII college teams this weekend.
Pretty much every conference kicks off this weekend. Below, if we have a specific article about that conference, we link to it when the conference is named in the schedule.
Some things to note:
The Gateway Conference had a soft opening a week ago but is full-on this weekend, and the question remains whether anyone can catch St. Louis University.
The Southern Rugby Conference begins with ten teams in action this weekend.
Defending champion Furman hosts Coastal Carolina and Head Coach John Roberts says his team needs to fill in some important holes. Furman graduated their 2014 second row, and their props, Adrian Marcoliese and Jeff Tonge, are studying abroad this semester, and so his tight five is completely new.
The Tri-State DII men's collegiate conference got underway this past weekend, with the biggest result likely being Siena edging RPI 16-12 to make a statement as to who will challenge Vassar for the North Division title.
Vassar won also, paced by two tries from center Eli Vargas and 12 points from scrumhalf Gary Garcia, the Brewers defeated SUNY New Paltz 27-14.
With the Men's DII College season nbow underway, and underway in earnest this coming weekend, here is the first rankings of the season from Goff Rugby Report.
