A more perfect upset
The East Region map was rearranged by a slew of upsets, but none bigger than what the Union Dutchmen pulled off in their season opener on Saturday afternoon.

Chris Coney ran for 155 yards, including a touchdown with 17 seconds left to help lift Union over No. 8 Ithaca 24-21. Photo gallery. The Bombers had rallied with two fourth-quarter touchdowns before the Dutchmen got the last laugh. Week 2 scores.

The Blugolds missed on two shots from the 9-yard line in the closing seconds. No. 5 Wheaton (Ill.) escaped Bethel with a 29-26 victory, scoring on the last play of the game. Photo gallery. Division I non-scholarship Butler had little trouble with Franklin, beating the Grizzlies 49-19.

RPI opened its new stadium in style with an easy 28-0 win against Endicott.
