Blowouts and Rankings Challenges in D2
GRR's D2 rankings have only had the opening week, so it's expected that they will change, but before the rankings come out here's a look at how the ranked teams did over this past weekend.
Top D2 Players of the Fall: No. 8 The position of No. 8 is one of the largest, proportionally, in our D2 list of top players. While, based on the total number of players we're recognizing (just under 140 right now), you'd expect nine players to be named for each number on their jersey. We have 18 players with the number eight on their backs. And we've discussed that a bit in some earlier releases.
IUP Caps Comeback to Win DII
It was a weekend of comebacks and IUP capped it all of with a little comeback of their own to win the Men’s DII NCR championship Sunday in Houston.
Sparkling Semi Sees Memphis Past UNI
In one of the most exciting and competitive DII semifinals you’d ever want to see, Memphis defeated Northern Iowa 43-39 to advance to NCR’s DII national final.
The lead changed eight times in this game, which featured some thrilling attacking rugby and, despite the final score, some tough defense as well.
IUP Holds On in Blistering DII Semi
In a game that really didn’t go to plan for either team, IUP weathered a tenacious University of Vermont side 19-6 to advance to the Men’s DII national championship game.
