Men DII College News
In an early-season non-conference match in the South, the Citadel shut out the University of North Carolina-Charlotte 53-0 to put the rest of the Southern Rugby Conference on notice.
It was all about tries and bonus points this weekend as the Upstate NY Men’s DII college conference got underway.
The game of the weekend was likely Buffalo State against SUNY Oswego, two teams who were among the contenders last season. A relatively young Buff State team held off Oswego 29-27.
This weekend marks the beginning of the Tri-State Conference season and while it’s early days - most of the students have just returned to campus - it’s also a competition that is completely open.
The Upstate NY Men’s DII conference begins action this weekend, with most of the teams having been back in school for about a week.
So it’s a quick turnaround from “this is what a rugby ball looks like” to “let’s play a league game” but that’s what they have to do.
Twelve teams will compete for the Southern Rugby Conference in Men's DII college rugby, with the season kicking off with all six playing on September 12.
