College Men
What a great weekend of DII playoffs and conference finales.
It’s been a difficult season for Bowling Green.
The Falcons don’t normally lose games in their conference, and yet they lost twice to conference opponents, including a contentious 33-29 decision against Western Michigan, and a 51-29 loss to Cincinnati two weeks ago.
So going into this weekend’s semifinals and final, BGSU had some work to do to get back on top.
Despite being put in a very tough position in the Northern Lights playoffs, Winona State Coach Jeff Noe is philosophical about his teams 64-0 loss to Minnesota-Duluth in the final.
The playoffs in the conference were supposed to provide a two-game weekend for all four teams involved. Duluth was supposed to play MUS-Mankato, while Winona took on the very tough North Dakota State.
The Coast Guard Academy defeated Boston University 48-10 Saturday to improve to 7-2.
CGA was supposed to play a midweek game against Norwich on Wednesday to finish off the two teams' regular season, however, the NECRC conference was informed by USA Rugby that the #2 seed needed to be confirmed by the end of this weekend.
Here is the updated men's DII college nationa playoff bracket following the results from this weekend.
Rugby Northeast and Upstate NY finish their playoffs next weekend, and the NECRC finishes their regular season next week, and that will fill out the final three spots.
The venues for the brackets are Pittsburgh (2 brackets), Des Moines, Iowa, and Greenville, SC.
