GRR: NIRA Women
Mount Saint Mary’s University has a unique opportunity this weekend as the school hosts two of the very best women’s college teams in the nation.
Central Washington University handed the Quinnipiac University women the Bobcats' first loss of the season, battling it out in a 19-12 decision this past weekend.
Quinnipiac is now 3-0 in the Women's Varsity competition - the NIRA - after putting Norwich to the sword 64-3 this past weekend.
Three league games kick off this weekend in the National Intercollegiate Rugby Association - the women’s competition of NCAA varsity teams.
After beating Army last week, Quinnipiac travels to AIC Friday.
Central Washington's women's team got an early lesson with a 32-12 loss at the University of Victoria, and Coach Mel Denham was just fine with that.
With the all-varsity NIRA season kicking off in three weeks, the Wildcats will need all the lessons they can get.
