Men DII College News
This weekend is loaded with really good matchups and games key to the various conference playoffs.
Check back here for scores.
Upstart Providence, having edged Coast Guard 12-6 last week, gets to back that up vs Sacred Heart. One result doesn't make a season, though, and Head Coach Mark Simpson-Daniel knows that.
OK, yes, we missed posting this column last week—our apologies—so we cover two weeks of top performances from Men's DII College Rugby in this week's Gamebreakers.
Forgive us.
Marist traveled down to Kings Point, NY to play Merchant Marine Academy to decide Tri State regular season champions.
This has been a stop-start season in the Tri State but both Marist and Kings Point have managed to get through it ready to play. Both defeated RPI in tight games and really that's what set up this encounter. Officially both teams were unbeaten going into the match.
Sometimes the victory happens at kickoff.
After a series of forfeits Grand Valley State's young, inexperienced team finally got on the field and took on Calvin College.
The game was messy, imprecise, and just plain fun as Grand Valley State won 40-10. Head Coach John Mullett was just happy to play.
In a clash between the #6 and #11-ranked DII college teams in the country, 6th-ranked Marquette put in a pretty polished performance in defeating UW-Platteville in Platteville.
