GRR: College Men
Penn State Berks pulled off a key 20-12 victory over Gettysburg over the weekend to take sole possession of 1st place in the Small College Keystone Conference.
Led by the try-scoring acumen of Nate Chin, Josue Garcia, and Will Jackson, Berks was able to contain Gettysburg's very dangerous Ben Murphy, who is the conference try leader.
Indiana defeated Wisconsin Saturday to move to 2-0 in their Big 10 East schedule.
For IU, the win, secured their top spot in the Big 10 East. But bigger than that, it was their first on-campus game in close to three years, and played at Memorial Stadium, the school's football stadium.
Grand Valley State racked up another big score, beating Saginaw Valley State 113-7, but the news out of the Great Lakes Conference is Ferris State's defeat of Central Michigan.
CMU has been among the top two in this conference for some years, but Ferris State edged them 34-33 Saturday.
Thomas More defeated Marian 52-13 in Big Rivers action to remain unbeaten in the conference.
Marian battled in the opening half and it was only 12-6 until late in the first half when Luca Mattassini scored to make it 17-6.
This week's list of games in Men's D1 college rugby is really interesting with several having ramifications for conferences, playoffs, and rankings too.
