GRR: Upstate NYCC
The Upstate NY Men’s DII conference begins action this weekend, with most of the teams having been back in school for about a week.
So it’s a quick turnaround from “this is what a rugby ball looks like” to “let’s play a league game” but that’s what they have to do.
SUNY Oswego defeated top-seeded SUNY Cortland 37-12 Sunday in the final of the Upstate NY Men’s DII league.
That game finalized the 16 teams in the USA Rugby National Playoffs.
Playing on a snowy, muddy pitch at the SUNY Oswego campus, both teams won their semifinals on Saturday, with Cortland dominating Niagara 20-3 and Oswego edging Buffalo State 19-12.
Cortland will play Oswego in the final of the Upstate NY Collegiate Rugby Conference Sunday after a snowy Saturday of semifinals.
The final weekend of the Upstate New York Collegiate Conference is this coming weekend, but the big questions have already been answered.
