GRR: DI Elite
While there are only four teams in the Women's D1 Elite, you've got to start somewhere, and the intensity of the competition between the top college teams outside of NIRA can't be denied.
It's a small but very important weekend for college rugby, as six major championships are decided.
Eight teams are left for the Women's DI College championships.
The past weekend began with 16 teams in the running. The winners from the 1st round qualified for one of two championships. The DI Elite semifinalists are the four teams who won twice over the weekend - the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals. The DI semifinalists are the teams that lost the Quarterfinals.
