GRR: Tri-State Conference
Now we’re down to two teams in the Tri-State Men’s DII collegiate conference, with Vassar and Fairfield winning their semifinals this past weekend.
Fairfield downed a solid RPI team 58-10 Sunday, while Vassar had to battle to push aside Sacred Heart 48-34.
The Tri-State Conference playoff matchups are set with Vassar facing off with Sacred Heart and RPI taking on Fairfield next weekend.
Vassar will take on Rutgers in the Tri-State Women’s DII college conference final next week after each won their respective semifinals Saturday.
Vassar defeated Hofstra 27-17 in a game where Hofstra were able to spoil Vassar possession well and tested the Brewers’ midfield defense with their hard-running centers.
Vassar College's men's team finished the Tri State North season 5-0 after a 39-14 of local rivals Marist.
Joe Simon paced the Brewers with two tries and Nich Graham scored a try and kicked nine points for a total of 14.
Marist battled and were within three points at halftime with Vassar up 10-7.
It’s been all about the winning at Rutgers, as their women’s team defeated Hofstra on Sunday to improve to 5-0 in the Tri-State South, and drop Hofstra to 4-1.
Head Coach Ken Pape said earlier this season that the program is seriously thinking about moving up to DI, and continued strong performances are how they can get there.
