GRR: NIRA Women
It was a close win for Army but was it enough to get 2nd place?
While Dartmouth enjoyed the culmination of an undefeated run with an astonishing 85-0 defeat of Brown over the weekend, thanks to four tries from Ariana Ramsey—four tries in a row, actually—Army and Harvard were in a battle.
Dartmouth stayed undefeated in NIRA action, winning in dramatic fashion over Harvard at Harvard Saturday.
The Big Green of Dartmouth never led in this game until the final whistle, but did manage to mount an impressive comeback, scoring the game-tying try through Katelynn Walker with no time left and having Kristin Bitter hit the conversion to win it 31-29.
All eyes are on NIRA's D1 with the two undefeated teams facing off in Cambridge, MA.
Dartmouth wo big over Mount St. Mary's to join Harvard at 4-0 in the NIRA D1 league.
The Big Green women have changed up their approach a little bit, focusing on more of a kicking game and having the talent to execute it, and they followed on from a very good performance over Army a week ago to race past Mount 79-0.
The effect if varsity NCAA programs is starting to be felt at the national level as the Women’s Rugby World Cup kicks off.
The USA team has three Harvard Rugby alumni on its roster, for example, with Maya Learned, Erica Jarrell, and Jenny Kronish suiting up.
Jarrell was co-captain of the team last season.
