GRR: Tri-State Conference
We have some more conference champions in Men's D2 college rugby.
GeorgetownThe Georgetown Hoyas not only won the MARC but won it in impressive fashion 65-19 over Villanova. Considering Villanova had only one opponent get closer than 20 points, that's a big score.
Marist defeated the US Merchant Marine Academy to take control in the Tri-State Men's D2 league.
Marist improved to 4-0 in conference play, and wrapped up a regular-season sweep of Kings Point. The two had met before with Marist edging the USMMA 20-17. This time, it was mostly Marist as the Red Foxes pulled away 51-17.
Marist edged US Merchant Marine Academy 20-17 in what seems to be the meeting of the top two teams in the Tri-State.
Marist defeated Hofstra to win the Tri State Conference Men's 7s Championship Sunday, making it a 15s-7s conference double for Marist.
Hofstra made the final with a 31-0 defeat of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the semifinals, while Marist held off Fairfield 30-19 to make the championship game. The Fairfield team entered into this tournament was their development side.
On Sunday, April 10 the Tri-State Conference Men's 7s Championship will be held at Hofstra University, with 16 teams in action.
The teams will come from 13 colleges, with three of those colleges, Hofstra, Vassar, and Marist, fielding two sides. The overall winner may advance to the NCR tournament on Memorial Day weekend in New Orleans.
