Harvard, Dartmouth Keep Rolling in NIRA

Dartmouth and Harvard remain undefeated in NIRA's DI and look to be on a collision course not only for October 23, but for the final on November 20.

Dartmouth beat Sacred Heart 63-10 behind an aggressive, physical performance. Emily Henirch and Sophie Ragg scored two tries each but really the story was how the forwards backup up the backline efforts to cap off scores. Nicole Ihensekhien was back on the scoreboard and overall is was a solid, workmanlike win for the favored Big Green.

Harvard got two tries and four conversions (18 points) from Brogan Mior and two tries from Cassidy Bargell as they cruised past a very tough Quinnipiac side 60-24. Harvard were in control most of the game, but if they wanted to be really critical, they might look at the end of the first half when Quinnipiac ran in two tries to turn a 24-5 deficit into a 31-17 scoreline. But Bargell's 50-meter dummy and scamper early in the second half turned the momentum around and the Crimson rolled from there.

Brown crushed Long Island 114-0. Zy Thomas ans Emmajane Rhodenhiser each scored four tries, while Olivia Duba scored 23 ponts on nine conversions and a try.

And Army improved to 2-1-1 in NIRA play. Charisma Henry scored two first-half tries and Sydney Schaaf added one, while Codi Butt converted three and added a try of her own for a 26-0 lead. They cruised from there 33-5 over Mount St. Mary's.

So, with the week's action done, we look ahead to Harvard hosting Brown next week and then visiting Dartmouth two weeks later.
