College Men
Western Michigan looked very impressive in winning over Louisville, and Lindenwood-Belleville looked solid in a win over Iowa.
Salisbury beating Virginia Tech isn't quite enough to bump Salisbury to be ranked ahead of VT. Tech has been playing well and a two-point loss isn't always a reason to switch places. Salisbury is 2-1-1 in-conference and needs to show consistency.
The big question as we vote on the DIA rankings is what we do about St. Bonaventure losing to Notre Dame.
The Lindenwood University Lions traveled to West Point Saturday and won the program's opening first-side game of the season 27-10.
Army has struggled through some tough close losses, but Head Coach Matt Sherman said the team was getting better.
Endicott upset Roger Williams 52-14 Sunday in the Colonial Coast Conference in NSCRO.
With the result Roger Williams drops to 3-1 and Endicott improves to 2-2. Endicott, which lost an earlier game in somewhat controversial fashion to Bridgewater State, finally was able to put together its best performance, and the result put them in the playoff conversation.
Grand Valley State defeated Calvin College 53-32 to move to 4-0 in the Great Lakes men's DII college conference.
Flyhalf Nick Roberts did a nice job at running the GVSU attack, while flanker Tarzan Iam, playing in his first game, was a wild man chasing balcarriers down.
At No. 8, Austin Dewey worked the breakdowns and tackles nicely.
Norwich University ran out to a big first-half lead and held on to beat Middlebury and move to 3-1 in Rugby Northeast's Men's DII league.
It looks like a Ohio State/Indiana chase to the top of the Big 10 after both teams won games this weekend, and Michigan State faltered.
Ohio State defeated Michigan 57-14 on Friday.
Ohio State Defeats Michigan
Kutztown University is now in 1st place in the Rugby East after defeating Penn State Saturday, riding a torrid first half and holding on as the Lions roared back.
Aaron Gray went over in the first five minutes to give Kutztown an early lead, and two minutes later scrumhalf Tai Kauwe zipped in and with Thorne O'Connell's conversion Kutztown led 12-0 after eight minutes.

We're a little bit late posting this so we'll combine it as a scores page and a picks page.
The only results we had prior to posting was Central Michigan over Saginaw Valley State, and Lowell over Providence, but we had CMU and Lowell picked for those—honest. Big game in the South with Citadel vs UNC, and also in the Tri-State with Kings Point against Marist.
Ohio State moved to 6-1 on the season and 3-1 in the Big Ten with a fairly convincing 57-14 defeat of Michigan Friday night in Columbus, Ohio.
