NIRA Finals Bring Improving Challengers to Face Championship Regulars

Can the old guard hold on?

Saturday's slate of games include the NIRA DI semifinals, with three-time defending champions Harvard hosting AIC and Dartmouth, finalists in four of the last five NIRA DI seasons (winning twice) hosting Army West Point.

So Harvard and Dartmouth are auld enemies and the old guard. What about the other two?

Lindenwood To NIRA FInal

Army West Point saw their 2025 fall season wrapped up in a tough-minded loss to powerhouse Lindenwood Friday night in St. Charles, Mo.

These two teams had already met this season and the Black Knights had competed well against a Lindenwood team that was expected to challenge for the championship in their first NIRA season.

Army West Point have vaulted themselves into the semifinal conversation after this past weekend's 40-17 win over Sacred Heart.

Harvard-vs-Dartmouth Delivers

In the big Clash of the Titans in NIRA, undefeated Harvard edged Dartmouth 36-33, scoring in the late moments to take the victory.

Harvard struck early as freshman Gemma Ogoke powered through two Dartmouth defenders with a stiff arm. Maya Hilger capped off a movement to score Harvard’s second, and with the Skylar Jordan conversion Harvard led 12-0.

Showcase Matches Live up to Billing in NIRA DI

The big matchups in NIRA did not disappoint.

Dartmouth remains undefeated after beating Sacred Heart 43-29. SHU came into the game 2-0 in conference play; they lost last week to AIC but with a younger-than-usual lineup.

So really this was a game of two teams with strong playoff aspirations and it had the feel of a playoff game in many ways.
