Three Teams See Major Shifts in NIRA Power Rankings
This weekend is a relatively quiet one for NIRA DI teams, but there is a lot to talk about with the league.
Harvard Stand Atop NIRA Hill After Win
Harvard put in a very controlled and powerful performance to win their big rivalry match in the Women's National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) Friday night, and beat Dartmouth 31-7.
The game was moved to Friday night because of rough weather expected to hit the Boston area on Saturday.
Still, the rain and wind was there on Friday, as well.
Navy Women Surprise With Tense Win Over Lindenwood
The Navy women's rugby team pulled off what has to be called an upset as the Midshipmen held off Lindenwood 18-15 Friday afternoon at the Prusmack Rugby Center in Annappolis.
Green vs Crimson Headlines NIRA Weekend
The two teams that have won the last seven NIRA DI championships will face off Saturday when Harvard hosts Dartmouth.
This is a huge game, and, in fact, it's bubbling up to the national team, where alumni from both teams play.
