Men's D2

Two undefeated DII Men’s College teams clashed this past weekend in the Gateway Conference, but it was not the tight contest of dominant teams everyone expected.

St. Louis University hammered previously-undefeated Principia 68-0. 

Towson University upended their longtime rivals Salisbury 32-21 Saturday in a game between the top two teams in the Potomac Men's DII College Conference.

 

In a hugely physical game, Salisbury scored early to lead 7-0 and were still ahead even after Towson flanker Anthony Bria rambled in from 30 meters out - 7-5 Salisbury.

University of Rhode Island and University of Vermont will have a lot to say to each other in a couple of weeks as they prepare for two games against each other in a row.

 

URI and UVM both won this weekend, one relatively comfortably and one in nail-biting fashion, to move to 4-0 atop the New England Collegiate Rugby Conference standings.

 

Rh

Xavier College of Cincinnati put themselves in control of the Great Lakes South with a 36-21 defeat of previously-unbeaten Marshall.

 

The two teams had already met once, with Xavier coming back from 17 points down to tie the game 22-22.
