GRR: Mid-American Conference
The DIAA fall playoff bracket will be announced relatively soon, and there are still a few questions to get answered as conference champions are being decided.
There's a lot at stake this weekend in DIAA rugby this weekend.
Chief among these is the Chesapeake, with five teams in the hunt for playoff potential.
Down To The Wire In The Chesapeake
Zach Marsh scored four tries for IUPUI as they beat Miami of Ohio, and that's pretty good news for the freshman, but it was not the best news he got this past week; being upright was.
On October 12, Marsh played a full 80 minutes against Bowling Green. After the game he started feeling pain in his chest.
Louisville secured a spot in the Mid-American Conference playoffs after upsetting Bowling Green 27-18 Saturday.
Bowling Green went into the game the defending USA fall DIAA champs, and ranked #7 by Goff Rugby Report. But Louisville, ranked #21, has been playing some solid rugby, and despite a 40-0 loss to Western Michigan, had every expectation of knocking off the Falcons.
The two undefeated teams in the Mid-Atlantic Men’s DIAA conference meet up this weekend as St. Joseph’s faces West Chester.
This has developed into a very nice rivalry, as St. Joe’s Head Coach Dan Yarusso continues to build long-term success in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Bjorn Haglid hasn’t been at West Chester as long, but his arrival has spurred West Chester to new heights.
