Men DII College News
Miami of Ohio's convincing victory over Middle Tennessee State was the tipping point to get the team into GRR's Top 15 among D2 college teams.
It's a step for something of a comeback for a program that hit some tough times over the past years.
"We have a great group of student-athletes excited about rugby and the club," said club President Wesley Seay.
Top teams in various conferences are starting to lay claims to playoff spots in Men's D2 college rugby.
NEWCRCIn the New England-Wide Conference, here are the in-division standings:
Southeastern Louisiana continued its winning ways with a 71-17 defeat of Spring Hill College over the weekend.
Early penalty trouble game the Spring Hill Badgers good field position and with the vocal Spring Hill fans surrounding Dorn Field, they rode the momentum.
All of the Lions' penalties finally led to a Spring Hill try.
Grand Valley State racked up another big score, beating Saginaw Valley State 113-7, but the news out of the Great Lakes Conference is Ferris State's defeat of Central Michigan.
CMU has been among the top two in this conference for some years, but Ferris State edged them 34-33 Saturday.
Games to circle this week in Men's D2 College:
Rio Grande at IUP. The IUP Hawks have been #1 in GRR's rankings until very recently, and are still #2. Now they face a school-supported team and perhaps their toughest test so far.
