GRR: Davenport University
In a final worthy of the name that had pretty much everything, Queens University Charlotte beat Davenport University in overtime to take the NIRA Women's DII championship Saturday.
The game, shown live on ESPN+, was held at Burnham Field at Dartmouth College in chilly but fair conditions.
When new college conferences are formed, merged into one, the same question always presents itself—"what will you do if you finish last?"—because someone is going to finish last.
Davenport made some history Saturday, beating Life University for the first time ever.
It's been 20 losses in a row for Davenport against the Running Eagles, but the Panthers continue to persevere and this year had enjoyed a very strong buildup.
All eyes are on NIRA's D1 with the two undefeated teams facing off in Cambridge, MA.
Davenport edged AIC in a tense NIRA D2 clash in Rochester, NY over the weekend to make an early statement in that division.
