BCU vs. Northwestern

Briar Cliff vs. Northwestern Tonight

 

When you think of rivalries you think of Michigan and Ohio State, North Carolina Duke, Florida and Florida State, Texas and Texas A&M these team have fought and battled for many of years. One rivalry the chargers have started a new one with has been with Northwestern, which is only an hour away. Northwestern is known as the Dutch school and us known as the catholic school. The rivalry seem to get intense 2 years ago when briar cliff made it to the GPAC championship game and had to play the Red Raiders at there turf.  The chargers were missing their key player Dehonis Williams, but felt his presence on the bench would help the team. Adi Cizmic and Neil Rohe led the chargers at the time. The game turned out to be a crazy one as three fourths of the briar cliff student population and faculty attended the night game and was also in a snowstorm at northwestern.  They game turned out to be one of the greatest games in briar cliff history as the chargers lost by 5. The rivalry has now been a good one and intense after the JV game this past Monday as tempers flared a little bit between the men’s game. But with the big game tonight we all expect a big turnout and have plenty of Dutchmen show up to the Flanagan center 6pm for the women and 8 pm for the men and it will be a good one, who knows it might be another classic one.
