GRR: College Men
This weekend it’s the Big Game in the New England NSCRO as South division leaders Eastern Connecticut State face off with undefeated Babson.
The latest Men's DII rankings are late because we wanted to wait for the Roger Williams v Bentley game.
In a game rescheduled due to rain, 19th-ranked Roger Williams defeated #33 Bentley 36-5 Thursday evening in Rugby Northeast Men’s DII college rugby action.
Going into the game, Roger Williams Head Coach Chris Palombo said he wanted his players to be smarter with the ball in hand, and more careful with the ball in contact.
Having survived a tough game against the University of Rochester, Canisius College looks to be in good shape in the Upstate NY Small College Western Bracket.
The Golden Griffins edged the Yellowjackets 26-24 in a clash of undefeated teams, and that means Canisius goes into this weekend’s clash against St. John Fisher with a 4-0 conference record.
The West Coast 7s kicks off on Saturday and will be the first serious run-out in college 7s for almost all of the 12 teams participating, and they are teams that have high expectations through the season.
Cal is the #1 seed, with UCLA #2, Arizona State #3, Cal Poly #4, and Arizona #5. (The seeds were voted on by the participating coaches.)
