Welcome to the ninth week of the New England D-III Football season.
Once again, WPI remains our top team – they looked very impressive this past weekend against Merchant Marine – while Endicott College and Western New England remain our second and third teams, respectively. The Gulls and Golden Bears will meet this upcoming weekend in a game that could perhaps decide the winner of the Commonwealth Coast Football (CCC) conference.
Framingham State moved into the top five with a 39-14 win this past Saturday against Western Connecticut, which tumbled two spots to the seventh position, while Springfield College remained our sixth-best team in the region.
MIT moved into the Top 10 with an important win over Coast Guard Academy, while Williams College secured the ninth position with its sixth victory of the 2019 season.
