GRR: College Men
The pools are set for the West Coast 7s collegiate tournament this coming weekend.
The tournament will be held October 22-23 at Treasure Island in San Francisco and will feature 16 very strong men's collegiate 7s teams.
Boston College defeated University of Connecticut 47-7 in Liberty Conference action and the Eagles now sit at 5-0.
Marist defeated the US Merchant Marine Academy to take control in the Tri-State Men's D2 league.
Marist improved to 4-0 in conference play, and wrapped up a regular-season sweep of Kings Point. The two had met before with Marist edging the USMMA 20-17. This time, it was mostly Marist as the Red Foxes pulled away 51-17.
Principia has taken hold of the Gateway Conference Eastern Division with a convincing victory over Washington University.
WashU is much improved and went into the game 3-0 and has been playing some solid rugby this fall.
New Hampshire took a huge step forward Saturday with a 22-12 defeat of a very good UMass Lowell team.
UNH, ranked #39 by GRR while Lowell was ranked #13, entered the game 2-1 in their conference after a somewhat humbling 29-7 loss to University of Vermont. But that result, said Coach Kyle Parker, was a bit of a wakeup call.
