Some Questions Answered in Penultimate NIRA DI Week
Three teams said something to us in NIRA's DI, and here's what they said.
We're Pretty Good
That was what West Point said as they clamped down on Lindenwood defensively and won 12-5.
Lindenwood put on the pressure early and led 5-0 after Ella Elorid scored. So the Lions were up 5-0 after 15 minutes, but Lindenwood would not score again.
AIC Edges SHU, and the NIRA Standings are in Turmoil
AIC's dramatic 33-32 win over Sacred Heart has put the Pioneers in a very difficult position in a search for a playoff spot.
At the same time, AIC has new life for a semifinal question.

Harvard took clear control of NIRA DI Saturday with a very strong second half to beat Lindenwood on the road.
The two teams, who last met in the NIRA DI final in 2025, played very tight in the opening stanza, with
Lindenwood drew first blood when Allison Honeycutt scored in the 12th minute. But Harvard came right back with Morgan Gibson went over to tie it 5-5.
Who Has the Must-Win Games in NIRA?
As expected, Navy took a Power Rankings hit, but not a massive one, and Army got a boost, but not a massive one, this past week in the NIRA Power Rankings.
With Navy losing to Harvard, the Power Rankings expected that and saw the metrics for Navy and for Harvard, for that matter, not change all that much. This was helped by Navy's second-half scoring binge which made the game closer.
Harvard Takes Early Control to Dismiss Navy in NIRA Clash
Harvard improved to 4-0 in NIRA DI with an impressive 53-26 defeat of Navy in Cambridge, Mass., Saturday.
Harvard scored in the first minute and rolled to a dominant 29-0 lead at halftime, and while Navy did well to open up their offense in the second half, the Crimson were well ahead by then.
