GRR: College Men
In the Wisconsin-Iowa-Illinois League (WII), Wisconsin-Whitewater is, not unexpectedly, in the final, after beating Northern Iowa 88-12 in a physical game. Illinois State also won, putting a 58-19 decision over a very good Wisconsin-Milwaukee team. Those two teams will battle it out for the conference title Sunday. But UNI and UW-M are not out of national playoff contention.
SUNY Cortland will play SUNY Geneseo in the final of the Upstate NY Collegiate Conference Sundat after both won playoff games Saturday.
Geneseo needed all their karma to get by SUNY Oswego. Late in the game Oswego led 34-21, but two late tries, both of them converted, got Geneseo into the championship game in dramatic fashion.
Notre Dame College defeated Lindenwood-Belleville 34-17 Saturday morning in Lamont, Ill. in a clash of two very good independent DIAA teams.
SUNY Binghamton is the Empire Conference champion after scoring late to overcome Syracuse 21-20 in a game that encapsulated the conference’s tight, competitive nature.
Here are the scores from this weekend in Men's DII College Rugby.
