Men DII College News
Auburn and Memphis both won in the SCRC Men's DII conference, setting up those two, along with Middle Tennessee State, as the leading teams in the conference.
Memphis beat MTSU 26-17 in a game that certainly implied that everyone is pretty close (Memphis beat Auburn 12-7 earlier in the season).
But Memphis Head Coach Blake White had a different view.
UNC-Wilmington won a key clash in the Southern Rugby Conference, Saturday, beating a tough Citadel team 41-31.
With the win, UNC-W moved to 2-1 in the Southern Conference Premier East, just behind 3-1 UNC Chapel Hill.
This weekend is loaded with really good matchups and games key to the various conference playoffs.

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.
