GRR: College Men
Syracuse had a nice week atop the Empire Conference, but were knocked from their lofty perch Saturday as Stony Brook defeated the Hammerheads 33-26.
Stony Brook got three tries from Phil Salter and a solid effort from the forward pack for the victory.
The University of Georgia shook up the SCRC somewhat with a 34-15 upset of the University of Florida Saturday.
In the increasingly competitive New England Collegiate Rugby Conference, Rhode Island and Coast Guard stay on top after both won against their fellow DII opponents Saturday.
In a clash of two highly-ranked teams, #2 Wisconsin-Whitewater defeated #4 Wisconsin-Lacrosse 36-15.
Lacrosse came out firing and in fact led 8-0 early on. But Whitewater rebounded with two tries to tai the lead.
James Madison made a big statement in the team’s debut in a DIAA conference, hammering Millersville 71-0 Saturday.
The defending DII 7s champions, JMU exploded out of the blocks with five tries in the first 20 minutes. But after that, Millersville slowed the onslaught a little … if only a little.
