GRR: NCR
The Men's D2 games are Friday and we have their Round of 16 followed by the Round of 16 for the Small College teams on Saturday.

Paced by a pretty nifty backline and four tries from outside center Shaianne McGruder, Indiana defeated the University of Virginia 31-15 in the NCR Women’s D1 quarterfinals in Elkhart, Ind.
In a game that was most certainly back-and-forth, McGruder’s pace, and the timing of her tries were the difference.
National Collegiate Rugby has confirmed its Women's D2 playoff brackets for the fall of 2023.
Defending NCR champs Wisconsin-Eau Claire comes in as a top seed after having rolled through their fall 5-0 by an average score of 75-3.
