About
AIC comes off a 6-0 fall in the East Coast Rugby Conference, good enough for their first conference title. Bowling Green comes into Charlotte champions of the Mid American Conference, defeating Western Michigan on Nov. 9 to claim the crown.
With momentum and a battle-hardened approach forged in tough conference play, these two teams should make for an excellent matchup at the Bowl Series. Both programs enjoy excellent support from their respective universities; expect two well-conditioned squads with plenty of depth to take the field Saturday at 11:15 at the Rugby Athletic Center.
