Men DII College News
In this latest RuggaMatrix America podcast, Alex Goff and Bruce McLane ask that question—are playoffs really necessary?
If they are, are they too big, too small, or the right idea for different teams?
As usual, they're not afraid to shake it up.
Two of the four teams that made last year's national men's DII college semis aren't back for another go, and that leaves things wide open this year.
It appears that Grand Valley State's place in the USA Rugby Men's DII playoffs will be taken by Great Lakes Conference #3 Central Michigan.
With GVSU unable to play because of a series of injuries and family issues that decimated their roster, and Bethel (the Great Lakes #2) not playing for some time and already hit hard with injuries, CMU has stepped in to fill the spot.
Well there's not a lot to say here. We had just a few Round 1 playoff games, and most went according to expectations.
The one game in which the lower-ranked team was victorious was #21 Lehigh over #18 North Carolina 18-15. Lehigh moves up.
Grand Valley State men's team has informed USA Rugby that it cannot play in the USA Rugby Men's DII College playoffs this coming weekend.
