GRR: NIRA Women
The big word coming out of the Harvard camp this season has been “resilience.”
The defending champions did not find the 2024 NIRA season easy, despite returning a large chunk of their championship team from 2023.
West Point has announced that it has made a change in its women's coaching staff.
In a short statement released yesterday it was announced that Head Coach Bill LeClerc is no longer Head Coach of the program.
Assistant Coach Jenn Salomon-Clayton will step in as interim Head Coach.
For the third year in a row it will be Dartmouth vs Harvard in the Women's NIRA D-I final.
Both teams won their semifinals on Saturday.
Two weeks after beating Brown by over 40, Dartmouth faced Brown again and much more difficulty shaking their Ivy League rivals. Brown did well to rebound from a strong Dartmouth start, but they did end up chasing the Big Green.
Championship weekend in NIRA is soon upon us but first we need to know who will play there.
And while there do seem to be favorites in both D-I and D-II, we could certainly see things shift.
The big question about NIRA, at least for us at GRR World Headquarters, is whether there could have been a different setup of semifinalists.
Yes, Dartmouth was always going to be #1. And yes, Harvard was pretty ensconced at 2nd.
So the question was, could Sacred Heart or Quinnipiac or even Queens have broke into that top four.
