GRR: Player of the Week
University of Dayton’s defeat of Miami of Ohio set them up nicely to be top in the MAC South.
It was a tight game down to the wire, with a late try turning a 16-14 deficit into a 21-16 victory. And the game marked a step forward for Dayton, which has been looking to raise its profile over the last few years.
In Davenport’s victory over highly-regarded Bowling Green last week, flanker Conor Schilling was a standout.
The 5-11, 205 West Ottawa, Mich. product, who also plays hooker, was a wrecking crew on defense, and covered the field shoring up the Panther defense all day.
Iona College put Michael Marro on the wing last weekend and gave him one job - shadow St. Bonaventure’s towering Greg Johnson.
Now, that’s a big job for a freshman in any situation - worry about one of the other team’s weapons and make sure he doesn’t hurt you - but consider also that Johnson is 6-5 and 210 pounds, while Marro is 5-10 (most of that hair) and 165 pounds.
