Dartmouth and Harvard both won big to set themselves up for a highly-anticipated clash in two weeks, a clash that could well be a NIRA DI final preview.
Harvard got four tries from freshman PK Vincze and two from Sabrina Kim, who continues a four-game scoring streak.

The result was a 60-8 defeat of Brown University, handing Brown their first loss of the season.
"We're feeling really good, we're building each game, and today was definitely the best game we've played yet" said Harvard sophomore Brogan Mior following the win. "We're not going to stop here, each week we're building, each game we're building, and it's really exciting."
Dartmouth shut out Mount St. Mary's 70-0. Idia Ihensekhien and Asialeata Meni both scored two tries as the Big Green touched down ten times, and converted every try with Kristin Bitter (four) and Abbey Savin (six) sharing the dutires. Both Harvard and Dartmouth are now 5-0.
"We are very proud of the teamwork out there today," said Dartmouth Head Coach Katie Dowty. "We love to see so many different players crossing the line. I was really impressed with the contributions off the bench, keeping up the pressure and not allowing any points on defense."
In NIRA DIII, Norwich beat Colby-Sawyer 31-5, getting a pair of tries each from Anita DiMento and Morgan Butcher. Sophomore Ava Smith added another try and Shannon Hobbs converted three.
Norwich improves to 2-1, with their lone league loss being to league leaders Bowdoin.
