GRR: New England Wide Conference
Our Men's D2 college Player of the Week is Finlay Hutton.
Hutton played flyhalf and scrumhalf for University of Vermont. He's from Scotland, Edinburgh, in fact, but is actually an exchange student from the University of Glasgow. Apparently being in both cities is the linguistic equivalent of offsetting penalties in football—he doesn't have a really noticeable Scottish accent.
In one of the marquee Men's D2 games of the weekend, University of Vermont took a key step forward in their conference with a dramatic overtime victory over UMass-Lowell.
The American Collegiate Rugby Association Fall Championship is set for the quarterfinals and semifinals this coming weekend at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY.
We have the Men's DII College brackets for National Collegiate Rugby, and a better idea of who will go where.
Norwich and UMass-Lowell are 4-0 in the New England Wide Conference, while Vermont and Coast Guard rebounded from tough losses to go to 3-1.
