Longtime Rivals to Meet in D3 Final
It will be an all-MARC affair in the NCR D3 men’s final, after both Slippery Rock and Franciscan won their semifinals Friday in Houston.
Slippery Rock ran out to a 22-5 lead over New Mexico Tech and looked to once again be in position to win big.
NCR Men's College Brackets Set
With Sunday's matches wrapped up we know who is in the Round of 8 or Round of 16 in NCR's D1, D1AA, D2, and D3.
D1
With St. Bonaventure beating Southern Nazarene on Sunday we have the final eight for this division:
St. Bonaventure (ranked #3 by GRR) vs Brown (#1)
Marian (#6) vs Walsh (#5)
Notre Dame (#7) vs Belmont Abbey (#15)
Queens (#2) vs Wheeling (#11)
Who Leads in Men's D3?
D3 college rugby and we are starting to see who is in charge.
Notably, in the Northern Lights, the two top D3 teams, St. John’s and St. Thomas, are winning games against the best that D2 can throw at them.
D2 and Small College Playoffs This Weekend
The Men's D2 games are Friday and we have their Round of 16 followed by the Round of 16 for the Small College teams on Saturday.
Then everyone plays their quarterfinals on Sunday. So by the end of the day we'll have final fours for each bracket (same, actually, with NCR D1 and D1AA).
