GRR: College Men
The #1-ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has won the WIIL Conference after beating Northern Iowa 88-12 on Saturday, and Illinois State 45-11 on Sunday.
ISU takes a seed to nationals, as well as Whitewater, and Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which beat Northern Iowa 52-35 on Sunday to take 3rd in the conference, and secure a seed to the national playoffs.
The Rugby East is almost done, and Penn State is completely done, having run the table 8-0.
The Nittany Lions had already clinched the conference before they faced Kutztown on Saturday, but the game had plenty of importance, anyway. Kutztown wanted revenge for last year’s 24-15 loss to Penn State, a game that failed to deny KU the conference title, but one that stung nonetheless.
Here is the latest Men's DII College playoff bracket.
Bowling Green University won the Mid-American Conference Sunday, securing that title for the 36th straight time.
The Falcons defeated the University of Cincinnati 53-15, capping off a strong MAC season where they handled all of their tough games without getting much of a scare.
Rowan University won the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference championship with a 32-17 defeat of York Sunday.
York pulled off a slight upset on Saturday in the semis, defeated IUP 39-22. It was a bit of a shocker to IUP given that Indiana had won the earlier meeting of the two teams 29-22. But York got up early and kept the pressure on. Rowan, meanwhile, took care of Scranton 50-7.
