Kutztown v Binghamton (KU's Marco Barnard)

The Golden Bears led 55-0 at halftime and never traveled any direction but forward.

The KU backline was superb in the first half with Dave Kornock slotting a penalty kick, scoring a try and nine conversions as he tallied 26 points on the day.

Mark Eichner led the way into the try zone with a hat trick, followed by Marco Barnard, Ted Griffith and Kyle Travelete all scoring two tries apiece.

The Golden Bear reserves scored 46 points in the second stanza, as the Kutztown coaching staff explored their depth chart.

Elsewhere, Rutgers traveled to SUNY New Paltz for their opener and won 72-12 in a 12-try romp.

The halftime score was 27-7.

Rutgers came out of the gates slowly and opened the scoring at the 11 minute mark when flyhalf Evan Fitzgerald took a free kick and eluded defenders for 30 meters before offloading to inside center Greg Dube for the try.

Four minutes later Fitzgerald kicked an up and under from inside his 22 that resulted in eightman Mike McCorry tackling the New Paltz fullback just as his feet came down to the ground at midfield, resulting in a turnover ball for Rutgers.

After a quick ruck the ball made its way out to Fitzgerald, who then scampered 50 meters for the score.

From there on it was all Rutgers, with the back-row accounting for half of the teams 12 tries.

And in Division II in the Met New York competition, Marist College beat Vassar 39-17.
