GRR: College Men
The Southern Rugby Conference has named its All-Conference selections in three divisions.
With competitions in D1AA, D2, and Small College, the Soutern covers plenty of bases.
The expanded Rugby East Conference has named its All-Conference selections for the fall of 2022.
Cal Poly Humboldt’s national men’s small-college victory over Wayne State was a statement victory in a number of ways.
It showed that a Californian or West Coast team can win a fall playoff; it showed that adherence to a game plan that fits your players works; it showed that an all-domestic college team can win.
Speed, so the saying goes, kills, and certainly it was deadly on Sunday.
Principia’s speed isn’t their only attribute, but it helps, a lot, and Sunday at Aveva Stadium the Thunder Chickens sped their way to NCR’s National D2 Championship, defeating IUP 47-16 in the process.
Endicott defeated Catholic University 33-19 to take 3rd in the NCR Small College playoffs, running out to a commanding 28-0 lead and holding on from there.
It was a wet day in Houston after the early morning rainstorms, and kickoff was delayed slightly due to lightning that, mercifully left and was not to return all day.
