GRR: Upstate NYCC
SUNY Cortland took sole control of first place in the Upstate NY Men's DII College Conference, as they upended the other undefeated team in the league, RIT.
In an intense game where both teams understood what was at stale, the boys from the Rochester Institute of Technology came out strong.
Three weeks into the Upstate New York Men’s DII college season and already theres been a bit of a shakeup.
SUNY Geneseo, 4-4 last year, has jumped out to a 2-1 record with wins over Buffalo State and, this past weekend, SUNY Oswego. Their only loss was a close 29-24 decision to RIT.
More conferences get started this week in Men's DII College action.
Last year's Upstate NY conference season was one full of questions, and sometimes a surprise answer.
SUNY Cortland looked to be the dominant team as they finished 8-0 in the regular season, but lost to SUNY Oswego in the playoffs. The road to the playoffs itself was interesting, as it wasn't until the last weekend of the season before we knew what the matchups were.
In a battle of teams that really don’t know each other, you never know what you’re going to get.
In the second of two Men’s DII College playoff brackets in Pittsburgh, SUNY Oswego plays Rhode Island, while Wisconsin-Whitewater takes on Springfield.
